Miguel Oliveira left with damaged Yamaha after a first-lap clash with team-mate Jack Miller and Trackhouse’s Ai Ogura at the Dutch MotoGP.
During the Dutch MotoGP at Assen, Miguel Oliveira was involved in a collision on the opening lap, causing significant damage to his bike. Racing in a special livery to mark the factory’s 70th anniversary, Oliveira’s hopes of a strong finish were dashed by the first-lap incident. After getting caught in a “traffic jam” at Turn 5, Oliveira made contact with Jack Miller, leading to a broken fairing and bent handlebar. Despite rejoining the race a lap down after repairs, Oliveira was eventually forced to retire due to the damage sustained. The team plans to focus on race pace during testing at Brno to prepare for the upcoming rounds of the season.
