Miguel Oliveira is expecting the Dutch WorldSBK to not favour the BMW M1000 RR.
Miguel Oliveira achieved a fantastic trio of podium finishes at the Portuguese WorldSBK in March, showcasing his skills as a top BMW rider in the 2026 World Superbike season. Despite his success in Portimao, the upcoming Dutch Round presents a new set of challenges and opportunities for Oliveira. BMW’s performance at the previous Dutch Round was not ideal, with Toprak Razgatlioglu facing difficulties due to poor tyre wear and lackluster performance, despite a victory at Assen in 2024. Oliveira is mindful of BMW’s past struggles at Assen as he approaches the upcoming race weekend, aiming to capitalize on the team’s strengths. The introduction of the new F0298 rear tyre from Pirelli may play a crucial role in enhancing the team’s performance and minimizing tyre-related issues at the Dutch Round, as Oliveira looks to maintain his momentum and secure more podium finishes.
