“I got off to a good start and I was right there in the top three,” recalled Oliveira. “I made a couple of mistakes – I blew the corner where my brother Dante [Oliveira] got around me, and then did a silly move in the pro section, so I went off line and went from third back to sixth. I had to chase down the front-runners from there, which I did, and managed to get into third. It was a good race in the end and overall I am stoked with the team, stoked with the bike, and thanks to everyone supporting us. It’s a big effort from all involved, and today was a good day.”
