Jack Miller and Oliveira are separated in age by two weeks (Oliveira is older) and have similar MotoGP™ CVs with multiple manufacturers – KTM and Aprilia, in Oliveira’s case. Yamaha’s second team will surely blood a youngster before long – Pramac is running a Moto2 squad with 24-year-old Italian Tony Arbolino and Spaniard Izan Guevara (20) – and long-term, there’s likely to be room for only one of the 30-something veterans.
Oliveira managed 16th (2023) and 15th-place (2024) finishes in two years with Aprilia before his move, although both seasons were wrecked by injuries that removed the potential for giant-killing results he’s proven capable of.
