MotoGP Germany OFFICIAL: Miguel Oliveira will no longer be with KTM in 2023

Miguel Oliveira revealed in a press conference whose theme was still his future in MotoGP where he would no longer be after 2022. However, in this interview that looked like a fireside chat, he did not specify where he would be would go in 2023 while on the Instagram of the Gresini Ducati team we had placed all the signs of a warm welcome. But rest assured, the Portuguese will always be on the starting grid. It will no longer be with the title of official driver. The very one that Jorge Martin desires more than anything… to the point of calling into question his position at Ducati, a brand that the Portuguese has not yet joined this evening…

Between KTM et Miguel Oliveira, that’s still two years of Moto2 and four seasons of MotoGP marked by four successes with the RC16. A good understanding which is coming to an end, and that is saying something if you listen carefully to the Portuguese, particularly on speedweek : ” I can only say that I am not worried about 2023 “, highlighted Olive tree today in Saxony. “ We, the pilots, we are not prohibited from speaking to other teams. We always strive to keep as much secrecy as possible. But it doesn’t always work ».

And he specifies: “ I was either riding the KTM in the factory team or I was leaving. I’m the type of person who generally likes to leave a door open. But after Mugello, my intentions were very clear. And the option on the KTM factory team was no longer available. So we had no choice but to leave after this season ».

To balance all accounts, he adds “ I am grateful to KTM, I have worked with them for years and KTM will always have a special place in my heart. Until the end of the season I will give the best of myself for the team with podiums during the second part of the season. They did everything possible to keep me by offering me Tech3 “. And we’ll leave it at dinner time…
