At Friday evening’s Trackhouse team launch in Los Angeles, it was confirmed that 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Miguel Oliveira will be promoted to 2024 factory-spec Aprilia machinery in MotoGP this season.

Oliveira and team-mate Raul Fernandez rac♛ed year-old RS-GPs under the CryptoDATA R൲NF banner last season, the first year of Aprilia’s satellite project.

But the sudden exit of the former team owners, and transfer of grid places to the ෴American-based Trackhouse company, will coincide with increased A🧸prilia technical support.

The headline news is that five-time KTM race winner Oli൲veira will get his wish and join Aleix Espargaro and Maverick Vinales in running 2024 factory-spec RS-GPs.

“The full factory spec will be at the beginning for Migue𒈔l and then quite soon also for Raul [Fernandez],” Aprilia Racing CEO Massimo Rivola said at the launch.

“From the performance point of view, it will be very important. We 🧜saw with other manufacturers how important it is.”

Rivola added that more factory Aprilia personnel will also be present in the Trackhouse box and pledged: “I will be the happiest guy to see Trackhouse in front because it will be an additional s𝓰timulation for Maverick and Aleix to perform well.”

Oliveira, who took a best race result of fourth during an injury-interrupted debut season🐎 on the Aprilia, hailed the move as “super important, beca𝓡use finally I have the opportunity to ride the factory bike.

“For us it’s the way ♌to go in terms of developing the material and getting to the top of the field. I’m just super motivated to start the season. I don’t know exactly what we can expe♕ct because although it’s not new everything kind of feels new.

“So w🐓e will 🤪have to be on our toes, focussed, to get the best job possible.”

Although the team’s ownership has changed, h𓃲ighlighted by a striking stars-and-stripes livery, most of the personnel from Wilco Zeelenberg downwards 🌳appear unchanged.

As s𓂃uch, team-mate Raul Fernandez considers 20🔴24 as the first grand prix season in which he has stayed for a second year at the ‘same team’.

“Podiums or the top five again would be really good f🦂or us but at the moment I don’t want to think too much about that,” Fe💞rnandez said.

“It will be a really important year for me, my third in MotoGP, second in Aprilia ✤and with the same team. Never in my life have I done that [stayed at the same team]. I think it will be a nice year…”

Aprilia won two Grand Prix rac✨es last season with Espargaro, making it the second most successful manufacturer for GP wins behind the dominant 17 wins by Ducati. The other victory was b🎉y Honda, courtesy of Alex Rins at COTA.
