With the MotoGP Japanese GP race interrupted after 12 laps and not resumed, some doubts could arise regarding the classification, especially in cases like Miguel
Oliveira’s, who had just entered the pits moments before, which would eventually lead to his retirement.
The Portuguese rider from CryptoDATA RNF MotoGP explained to the press when asked if he sought to find out the reason for being classified in 18th place
– They finished that lap, so I think all the group finished the lap and then they showed the red flag. I didn’t complete lap 12.
Asked whether the race should be interrupted earlier, Oliveira – who had visibility issues – agreed: ‘Yeah, sure, but we can’t repeat today, so…’.
