Miguel Oliveira (Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP) has withdrawn from the Argentina GP following his tangle in the Tissot Sprint on Saturday.
The Portuguese rider suffered contact from Fermin Aldeguer (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP) as the rookie crashed out when attempting an overtake. The FIM MotoGP Stewards gave Aldeguer a Long Lap for the Grand Prix race for the incident.
I want to apologize to Miguel Oliveira and his team for the unfortunate outcome of our touch. I never intended to touch him or push him out on my overtake. I was very upset after finding out about his injuries. I honestly wish him a speedy recovery. @MotoGP

Oliveira was diagnosed with no fractures but will head home to undergo further checks to his shoulder.
Lorenzo Savadori (Aprilia Racing) has also decided to sit out the remainder of the GP after twisting his shoulder - although he didn’t crash - on Saturday.
