Oliveira seizes first MotoGP™ podium finish of 2021 at Mugello

MotoGP 2021 - Round 06 of 19, #mugello (ITA) - Race

The Gran Premio D’Italia Oakley delivered KTM’s first silverware of the 2021 #motogp season as Red Bull KTM’s #migueloliveira raced to 2nd place at #mugello with his KTM RC16. Teammate #bradbinder equaled his best classification of the year so far in 5th place.

- Oliveira makes an excellent start to run top three for almost all the sixth round of 2021

- Oliveira’s podium is the first for the KTM RC16 this year as two bikes finish in the top five

- All three KTM RC16s in the points around one of the most technical & fastest tracks on the calendar

Sunshine and 23-degree temperatures graced the return of #motogp to the thrilling racetrack in the Tuscan hills north of Florence. Red Bull KTM Factory #racing riders #bradbinder and #migueloliveira started the 23-lap encounter from the second and third rows of the start grid and after the South African had guided the KTM RC16 to equal the highest ever #motogp top speed on Saturday by clocking 362.4 kmph through the speed traps.

Oliveira made a fantastic start and slotted into the running for the rostrum from the first corner. He moved past Johann Zarco to take 2nd spot and then defended his ranking after Joan Mir applied heavy pressure in the last two laps. The podium ceremony was Oliveira’s third in less than three seasons in #motogp.

Binder also made a lively launch but lost a couple of positions to hover in the lower top ten as he worked his tires and confidence up to effective race pace. The South African, making his first #motogp run at #mugello, fought back to 5th and was less than 5 seconds from winner Fabio Quartararo at the flag.

Tech3 KTM Factory #racing riders #danilopetrucci and #ikerlecuona had to make up time from outside the top 15 at the start of the race. Petrucci, a former winner and podium finisher at #mugello, pushed to 9th to record his second top ten result in a row. Lecuona tussled to 11th for more championship points.
