MIGUEL
OLIVEIRA
DOB : 1995-01-04 Birthplace : PRAGAL Height : 170 CM Weight : 64 KG
To some , Miguel Oliveira could be classified as Grand Prix racing ’ s nearly man . Twice he has fought for World Championships ; and twice he has narrowly missed out . But that is to do his talent a great disservice . A year in Aki Ajo ’ s Red Bull KTM Moto3™ squad in 2015 resulted in six wins – the first of which at Mugello marked him out as Portugal ’ s inaugural Grand Prix winner - and a championship challenge , when he narrowly lost out to Danny Kent . By 2017 he was reunited with Ajo in Moto2™ , fronting the KTM chassis ’ impressive assault on the intermediate class . He just fell short – again – in 2018 , but six wins in two years convinced KTM to put him in its satellite MotoGP™ team for 2019 . His debut campaign was curtailed by a serious shoulder injury at the British Grand Prix . But 2020 marked him as a superstar as he scored two remarkable wins in Styria and at home in Portugal . A step up to KTM ’ s factory team for 2021 didn ’ t start so well , with Oliveira failing to register a top ten in the first five races . But a new chassis at Mugello really set him off . From there he scored second , a sensational win in Barcelona , a fine second in Germany and a solid fifth in the Netherlands . He remains a championship player .
