‘That’s not true’ – Miguel Oliveira admits there is no clause stopping him from leaving Aprilia before the 2024 MotoGP season.
Oliveira is currently under contract with Aprilia until the end of 2024, but there has been interest from Honda in recent days. Oliveira, along with Maverick Vinales, is being considered as a potential replacement for Marc Marquez at Honda. However, Oliveira’s team owner, Razlan Razali, has stated that there is no release clause in Oliveira’s contract and that he will be staying with Aprilia next year. Oliveira himself has contradicted this statement, saying that there is a release clause. On the track, Oliveira finished in second place in Practice 2 and secured his spot in Q2. He expressed satisfaction with his performance but acknowledged that there is still work to be done. The Mandalika circuit seems to be a good fit for Aprilia, as Aleix Espargaro led the pack in a factory 1-2 ahead of Vinales, with both riders breaking the lap record. Oliveira believes that the layout of the circuit suits their bike well.
