Miguel Oliveira: Portimao MotoGP at risk? “We need the government”
“For 🍌the GP ಞto go forward, we need the government to pay the fee.”
Portuguese star 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Miguel Oliveira has acknowledged that his home Portimao round could be at risk of slipping off the MotoGP calendar.
The provisional 2025 MotoGP schedule, confirm✅ed as starting at Buriram in Thailand on March 2, is expected to be announced shortly.
Portimao has been part of the MotoGP calendar since 2020 but, Oliveira explained🌟, needs government support to make the event financially viable.
Oliveira - set to switch from Trackhouse to Pramac Yamaha next season - called on the government to recognise the positive impact of t꧑he🏅 grand prix.
“It is a shame🎶,” Oliveira said of rumours Portimao might not be on the 202꧂5 calendar.
“The Grand Prix has been organised t༒hrough a lot of effort by the Algarve administration. They had local municipalities support, to pay the fee to Do🌳rna. Zero intervention of the government.
“So for the GP to go forward, we need the governmentꦏ to pay the fee. As simple as that.”
The five-time MotoGP winner added: “We need the gove⛄rnment to underst﷽and that they benefit.
“The MotoGP brings a lot of money to the region. A lot of prestige, i♕mage-wise to Portugal and we do need the government to understand this and make a decision to go forward.”
⭕European places on the 2025 calendar are also facing pressure due to the return of Brno.
Meanwhile, Hungary’s Balaton Park Circuit - known to be negotiating with Dorna to host MotoGP and WSBK races and already the reserve circuit for 2024 - is planning a press🦩 conference next Thursday…
