Trackhouse Racing makes its debut in MotoGP this year but retains the riders from the previous Aprilia satellite team: Miguel Oliveira and Raúl Fernández. Kevin Schwantz, who attended the team’s presentation event, spoke about this duo.
The former rider stated, as quoted by the MotoGP website, that #25 still needs some improvement: ‘I think we all saw Raúl needs a little fine-tuning. He’s an aggressive, fast, hard rider and that’s what you have to be’.
Regarding Oliveira, Schwantz emphasized that he has already shown he can win: ‘Miguel had a few injuries but you know he won the Portuguese Grand Prix, he’s a proven race winner and I think Trackhouse have a lot to look forward to’.
