Oliveira rose from seventh on the grid to lead by the end of the opening lap and, after a brief tussle with Jack Miller, kept𓆉 control to the chequered flag for the fourth victory of his MotoGP career.

The Portuguese added another wet win late in thܫe season in Buriram.

After fighting for a debut Aprilia podium in the dry at Silverstone and Catalunya, Oliveira was again a roཧstrum contender in the recent Mote🍸gi rain, until visibility issues with his dry helmet set-up forced him to retire.

Now 🦩ꦓhe will try again at Mandalika, which has been resurfaced since last season.

“The In꧒donesian Grand Prix brings back a lot of good memories for me. I won the race last year and that just gives me mo🐟tivation to face the event this year,” Oliveira said.

“We [are starting] the first rou༒nd of three races in a row and it is important to return to our usual form, especially in ღQualifying. I'm confident and looking forward to getting back on track.”

Team boss Razlan Razali added: “We know that Miguel did well in tricky conditions in 20🧸22. We wish for dry weather, bu🔥t in case it rains, we are hopeful that Miguel can repeat doing the best on this track.”

Also in a confident mood is team-mate Raul Fernandez, who has hit his s𒅌tride with the RS-GP since Catalunya and, after top tens in the past three rounds, now has his sights set 🌊on threatening the top five.

“I think Mandalika will be a good track for us. I am very enthusiastic to ▨go there because the last rounds have been very good for us,” Fernandez said. “This weekend, 🍒I want to keep our line and also the good results and try to enjoy riding the bike.

“The first target is to continue the progress we are doing൩ and the second thing is, t♕rying to improve on our results a little bit further because now it’s time to not just be in the top 10 again, but also to close up to the top 5.”

Team manager Wilco Zeelenberg highlighte🦂d that the new asphalt should also mean a wider racing line.

“[The] track has been r๊esurfaced because last year the tarmac came off. It will be important that this ideal line of the track is wider, because last year only a small part was good and ready,” he said. “The layout is very nice.

“It’s a special event, very demanding and hot. Last year in the rain, Miguel won, soꦉ he clearly likes the track. We now c𒈔an’t wait to see what we are able to do this year.”
