Factory Apri🦋lia Racing’s Aleix Espargaro just missed out on the podium last season but was strong throughout the weekend.

Oliveira, who has been very fast at times during hi🔴s first season aboard the RS-GP22 machine, has not enjoyed much premier class success at the Losail International Circuit, which is something he wants to change this season.&n🐬bsp;

• Quartararo: “I always🦋 have to fight for the victory, as ღa person I’m a winner” 
• Bagnaia hints 🍨at working with Bastianini | Martin: “I don’t care about friends"

“I like Qatar, it ✅should be interesting with the new asphalt this year,” said Oliveira. “The Losail International Circuit looks like a track th𝐆at could suit our bike. 

“Last year went quite well there, so hopefully, we can b🦄enefit from th𒉰at this year, build up a good weekend and then have a good result.”

Although there have been glimpses, team-mate Raul 💟Fernandez🌠 has continued to struggle during the second half of the year.

The Spaniard has not been i🧸nside the top ten since the Japanese MotoGP at Motegi, which was the third consecutive race where he landed a top ten res🍒ult. 

Stressing the importance of not having any expectations, Fernandez said: “Qatar is completely different than Mala🦹ysia. This year, I’ve learnt that when I arrive at a track and don’t expect anything special, it usually works out better. 

“So, I’m not going to say that I expect a lot. I just want to enjoy riding, I want to fi༒nish the r♉ace, gather information and get kilometers in. 

“I will try to do my best as always𝔍 and I am looking forward to ride under the floodlights again.”
