Oliveira withdraws from upcoming French GP

The Portuguese star was injured in the Spanish GP as Aprilia Test Rider Savadori steps in at Le Mans

CryptoDATA RNF MotoGP™ Team’s Miguel Oliveira has unfortunately been forced to withdraw from the upcoming French Grand Prix due to a shoulder injury sustained during the Spanish Grand Prix. While immediate medical attention successfully repositioned his dislocated left shoulder, further assessments revealed a more severe injury, including a fracture in the humerus and an anterior labrum ligament injury.

Although Oliveira and his doctors have decided against surgery, he will need to focus on the healing process and will not be able to participate in the French round. The team wishes him a speedy recovery and looks forward to welcoming him back for the Italian GP.

In Oliveira's absence, he will be replaced by Lorenzo Savadori. As the official Aprilia Test Rider, Savadori has already had the opportunity to get accustomed to the team and conditions during the Official MotoGP™ Test at the Circuito de Jerez–Angel Nieto on Monday.

The entire CryptoDATA RNF MotoGP™ Team remains focused and committed to achieving success on the track, even with this setback.
