We will be looking for points in both races.”Related Oliveira’s 2023 Aprilia debut: ‘A bit better everywhere’ MotoGP 2024 rider line-up: The contract situation so farLike Oliveira, teammate Raul Fernandez was strong at Misano as he put together his best performance in MotoGP.Fernandez added: “First of all, it will be a difficult week for everyone.
