Oliveira, who treats the Austrian Grand Prix as a second home round due to his ties with KT🔯M, acknowledged that making the approach to turn three s𝄹lower was very much needed, although one which wasn’t easy to accomplish. 

It’s for that reason that riders have the responsibili๊ty to adapt and make sure its changes work according to the Portuguese rider. 

• FP3 dr𝔉opped from new Saturday schedule for Argentina MotoGP
• Takaaki Nakagami tests negative, heads to Arge♎ntina!
• Could two-day weekends be𓆉 the future? 'Not better for the sport' - Johann Zarco

"I think the direction of the change was what the riders requested," said Oliveira. "We wanted to make ♏the arrival to turn three much slow൲er and with the chicane there is no better way to slow down a bike. 

"I think the changes went in the directio𝕴n the rider requested. I think the track made an excellent e🐎ffort to accomplish that. 

"To build and then change is not that easy, and with that track being surrounded by so much nature and still 🅘managing to have a good run-off area was not an easy compromise. 

"We will all ride and I think it will take al💛l of us to make that solution work because to put in all that work, just to use the old ve𝐆rsion would be a waste of time."

Of course, riders should be getting ready to take pa🍸rt in FP3 at the Argentina MotoGP, but following freight delays on Thursday, and more schedule changes being announced on Friday, the first ArgentinaGP since 2019 will now get underway with an extended hour-long FP🥀1 later today. 

That will then be followed by another hour-long FP2, bef꧑or🔴e qualifying takes place in its normal form.

Despite the changed schedule, the KTM rider believes a good weekend can be achieved by the team, ♚who currently lead the constructors world championship. 

Oliveira added: "The weekend can go very well. The bike in 2019 was not the best version, not even close to ♍the bike we have now and we were mid-field competitive which was good at that time. 

"Now we can aim to challenge for higher positions. There is no reason not to think we can be com𝓀petitive."

Can Oliveira add consistency to his game?

While Oliveira is the rider most💎 in form thanks to his Mandalika race win, consistency issues dating back to early 2021 continue to hamper the four-time premier class race winner. 

Having started wi𒅌th a no-score in Qatar, avoiding such a result or even a 💎low points scoring finish this weekend is crucial for the 27 year-old if he’s to become a serious title contender. 

Like the season-opener, KTM are yet to claim a podium at the Termas de Rio Hondo Circuit, however, with a much improved RC16 package,🐓 odds are, both himself and team-mate Brad Binder can continue their impressive start to 2022.

Ahead of the 2022 season the former 2018 Moto2 runner-up said 🔯he was too 'spkiy' in 2021, and although his start to this year has done little to change that, qualifying 🌳is where he believes that problem can be addressed the most.

"Spiky is already what my season looks like. I started the seas🃏on with a zero and then a win," claimed Oliveira. "That’s not really what I aimed for. But, a win is a win and I’ll take that any day. 

"I think it starts with the qualifying. I started the Mandalika GP with the aim♑ of qualifying better and I will start the Argentina GP with the same mentality. 

"We need to be better in qualifying and I need to improve⭕. That’s my main target."
