Just two nights after scoring his best ever result in the MotoGP World Championship with a fantastic sixth place finish at the Automotodrom Brno, Miguel Oliveira is already on his way to Austria to the first of two home round of Red Bull KTM Tech3’s title sponsor Red Bull and KTM as manufacturer. The Portuguese is highly motivated to arrive at the Red Bull Ring, after he delivered his best outcome at the 4.326 kilometer track one year ago.

Red Bull KTM Tech3’s Miguel Oliveira showed another fantastic display of his talent today at the Czech Grand Prix in Brno, crossing the line in sixth place. Starting from P13, the Portuguese worked a long way through the field. In the course of the 21 laps race, he made up one position after another, passing strong rivals to finally achieve his best ever MotoGP outcome, crossing the line just 7.969 seconds behind the race winner, fellow KTM rider Brad Binder.

Following his breathtaking third position on Friday, Miguel Oliveira was off a decent start today as well, but lost the front of his KTM RC16 on the way to another strong lap time. Nevertheless, the Portuguese managed to regain his confidence this afternoon and missed out on a Q2 spot by just 0.037 seconds, ready to tackle the field tomorrow from the fifth row of the grid.
