Brad Binder backs former team-mate Miguel Oliveira: “When this guy is on fire, he’s insane.”
Brad Binder expressed his belief that Miguel Oliveira is too talented to not have a spot in MotoGP and hopes that a suitable opportunity will arise for the Portuguese rider. Oliveira is currently facing uncertainty after losing his Pramac Yamaha seat for the 2026 season, with his rumored MotoGP options narrowing down to a potential role with Aprilia. Despite the challenges Oliveira is currently facing, Binder praised his former teammate’s exceptional skills and expressed confidence that Oliveira will soon regain his confidence and form. The two riders were previously teammates in Moto3 and Moto2 before reuniting at KTM’s MotoGP squad, where Oliveira has been the most successful rider in terms of victories. Oliveira’s recent performance improvements with Yamaha have been notable, but his future could potentially lead him to World Superbikes with factory race seat offers at BMW and Yamaha being among his options.
