Miguel Oliveira suffered a major setback at Losail that brought his season to a premature end, leaving his team without his contribution for the final round of the year. In light of the Portuguese rider’s long-term injury, the CryptoDATA RNF MotoGP Team will be using Lorenzo Savadori in his place.
Razlan Razali confirmed this yesterday after the GP: ‘We also welcome Lorenzo Savadori, Aprilia test rider to replace Miguel in Valencia and we hope to score some points and maintain our team championship standings with eighth position’.
This will be the fourth GP of the current season in which the Italian will be at the controls of the RS-GP, as the rider was present at the French, Italian and Austrian GPs.
Savadori is currently 24th in the championship with nine points
