Miguel Oliveira crossed the finish line at Mugello Sprint race sitting in 13th place after a tough battle with his machine. The Pramac Yamaha rider faced serious shaking problems that made his bike hard to control during the short race. Left hand turns caused the most trouble for the Portuguese racer who could not find a way around these mechanical issues. His bike kept getting worse as each lap passed from the third round until the eleventh lap finished.
The racing conditions made it nearly impossible for Oliveira to push his Yamaha faster despite his best efforts. He did manage to move forward through the field better than any other Yamaha rider during the sprint event. Sunday promises to bring another difficult challenge when the main race takes place at the Italian track. Oliveira and his team must study the data and figure out what changes they can make before the longer distance begins.
The rider expects another hard fight when the full race starts but remains hopeful about finding better speed. He wants to settle into a strong pace that will let him move past other competitors during the main event. The vibration troubles need fixing before Sunday arrives or the longer race will become even more challenging for the Portuguese rider and his Yamaha team.
