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 . After making his Moto3™ debut with the Estrella Galicia 0,0 team in 2012 , he switched to Mahindra ’ s factory Moto3™ squad for 2013 and ’ 14 . 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 i naugural Grand Prix winner - and a championship challenge , when he narrowly lost out to Danny Kent . Oliveira moved to Moto2™ the following year and by 2017 he was reunited with Ajo , f ronting the KTM chassis ’ impressive assault on the intermediate class . He just fell short – again – of beating Francesco Bagnaia to the Moto2™ World Championship 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 . He is aiming for a championship challenge as he steps up to KTM ’ s factory team for 2021 .
