Aleix Espargaro was the first non-Ducati rider w﷽hich was a good sign for Aprilia, who are expected to be strong when the season officially gets underway.
But for Oliveira more work is ne💎eded even if the Portuguese rider admits the new Trackhouse Ra🧔cing team is not panicking just yet.
Speaking on ꦐthe final day of last week’s test, Oliveira said: “Physically it’s a little bit difficult to manage the whole three days, but I actually feel good.
“The best training is on the bike, so that’s good. We tried a couple of things ♉this morning and we totally lost the good temperature window to do a lap time.
“Then, we carried on with used tires and just tried to g♓et a little bit more feeling with a stable setꦜting because we have been changing so much throughout every exit.
“We found out that,✃ at the moment, it was just important to get used to the bꦿike and not experiment with too many things.
“Finally, at the end of the day, I got a new rear tyre again but 💞I couldn’t improve.
"The ideal lap time is a bit more satisfying, but we know how unimportant the tim🍸e sheet is in a test, so we are not really in panic at the moment.
“We’re just getting through a couple of things to go t♓oღ Qatar ready to work for the first race.”
Oliveira led the Trackhouse Racing program in Sepang as Raul Fernandez was declared unfit following an accident on day-ꦉone.
With F♚ernandez unable to gain experience with the 2023 RS-GP bike and Oliveira testing various new parts aboard his 24-spec bike, Team Manager Wilco Zeelenberg was clear about what needs to be improved heading into the final pre-season test in Qatar.
“Our first test is done,” be♛gan Zeelenberg. “Obviously, not everything was positive with the crash of Raul and his injury. And of course, talking about injuries, Miguel just came back from one during the winter where he tried to recover.
“We definit🃏ely need more track time and that we will get in Qatar. At the moment, we are not where we want to be with the bike and the performance, so let’s see hඣow we can use the data we have now and prepare ourselves in the best way possible for Qatar.
“Clearly, Miguel recovered well from his injuries, he nev✃er complaine🉐d through the test.
“Sayin♈g that, of course, he did not ride for a long period and jumping from a 2022 RS-GP straight onto a 2024 bike gives him some more adjustment work to do. I h🌳ope we are able to show our full potential in Qatar.”
