Having finished second at the opening two rounds, the 23-year-old was intent on claiming the top step of the podium at The Golden Shamrock Hare Scramble, racing his Husqvarna FE 450 to a convincing wire-to-wire victory on the difficult, dusty terrain near Doyle, California.
“It feels awesome to return to the top step out here!” commented Oliveira. “I’ve been right there in the fight, although I was just a little short each time, so this feels amazing. It was an awesome race today. We had some insane battles out here in the dust, which was crazy, and my competitors were on it today, so that keeps it fun and interesting.”
