Both Trackhouse and Pramac offer access to fac♔tory-spec bikes.

"I really believe I can make a differeꦦnce there," Oliveira told MotoGP.com. "And with this new approach [by Yamaha], we can arrive at good results much sooner.

🎀♛“That's the factor that really ‘imposed’ my decision.

“You can definitely see from the outside and understand the approach they are doing with the testing and all the manag꧑ement to really not wait too much to be competit♈ive.

“Even though the [technical] rules are changing in two years’ time, Yamaha wants to come back to the top as soon as possible. And they're doing efforts in 🐼t♔hat direction.

“Also [Pramac will be] a second factory team. We’ll be on the same machines. I think that's a really positive thing and we must look forw🐽ard to that.”

Pramac, currently running Ducati machinery, are not only t🍨he reigning MotoGP 🎃teams’ champions but currently lead the riders’ standings with Jorge Martin.

“It's no secret they are one of the best teams in the paddock and for sure I'm reall💃y looking forward t๊o know the crew and to get to work with them,” Oliveira said.

Oliveira has signed a two-year 🅠deal, directly with the Yamaha factory. Jack Miller is expected to be confirmed as his team-mate🐬.
