“I think it’s a little bit the shift on the focus that they are having at the moment to develop the current bike despite the rules changing in two years’ time,” said Oliveira of the signing. “Yamaha does not want to wait much longer to return to the top. After being involved with two different manufacturers, I feel my adaptation capability is quite high. I’m riding in a totally different way than I rode two years ago, and I think this can help for sure give feedback and get things going quicker.”
And he’s not under any illusion that a tough task lies ahead. “I’m ready to work. I think it’s going to be tough for sure. Because at the moment, maybe you don’t see the results of their efforts yet, but I think in the near future, we’ll be able to be back to challenge for important results.”
