One rider highlights big British MotoGP weather risk
Pramac Yamaha’s Miguel Oliveira has warned about the challenging wind gusts expected during the MotoGP British Grand Prix at the fast and flowing Silverstone circuit, which lacks protection from strong winds.
The uncertainty over the weather forecast for Sunday, with gusts above 40km/h predicted, poses a serious challenge for MotoGP riders, exacerbated by aerodynamic developments in recent years.
Oliveira emphasized the difficulty of riding in gusts above 50km/h, which can impact the bikes on the fast and flowing track, affecting their stability and handling.
Returning from injury, Oliveira has been focusing on improving his physical condition and bike fitness, feeling more prepared and confident ahead of the British Grand Prix following a test session at Misano.
He believes that with the progress made on fitness and the Yamaha R1 test, the pace over a full race weekend will start to feel more natural and competitive for him.
