Portuguese rider Miguel Oliveira (April) withdrew from the Austrian MotoGP Grand Prix this Sunday due to mechanical problems while he was in 13th position.
The driver from Almada, who started in eighth position, crashed into the RNF Aprilia team pits on lap seven when he was 13th, completing a main race withdrawal after giving up in the sprint race as early as Saturday, but due to a fall.
According to information provided by Sport TV, the cause of today’s failure was the problem of overheating of the front wheel of the Portuguese Aprilia.
It was the sixth departure of Miguel Oliveira this season, the second due to mechanical problems.
The Portuguese driver retired in the main races of the Portuguese, Spanish and Italian GPs, as well as the sprint race of the Austrian GP, all due to falls, and he retired in the Dutch GP with a breakdown.
The Austrian Grand Prix is the 10th of 20 races of the season.
