With about a month left until the start of the new MotoGP season, Miguel Oliveira has no doubts – the Ducati riders are the favorites in the title fight right now.
In an interview with SportTV, the Trackhouse Racing rider was asked about the favorites and replied: ‘Inevitably, all the Ducati riders. There’s no doubt about that; it’s proven that any rider who goes to Ducati is fast. More consistent, less consistent, but they all constantly hover around the podium. So, there are immediately eight contenders. Therefore, it will undoubtedly be complicated’.
That said, Oliveira emphasized the existing balance: ‘I can’t rule anyone out, not even rookie Pedro Acosta because we’re all close to each other, the bikes are very similar. Instead of starting the season looking outside, who can do what, my goal is to start the season looking at myself, my bike, and my team and to get the most out of what I can do’.
