Portugese Moto3 star Miguel Oliveira believes Britain’s Danny Kent has had it easy so far in this year’s Moto3 World Championship and is out to make his life a little more complicated.
Oliveira was the first ever rider from Portugal to win a Grand Prix when he took victory at Mugello and then bagged a second win at Assen before breaking his hand in practice at the Sachsenring but he now feels he is ready to start giving Kent a hard time.
"Every day I'm feeling better. At the moment I'm doing a recovery plan that allows me to gain movement in my hand and finger strength. With the fracture I had, it's a little early to think about getting in optimal condition for Indy, but I'm working hard every day so that I can approach the race as fit as possible,” said Oliveira.
"We are riding very fast, with faster times than last year. Danny Kent, who is the series leader, has had things very easy, and we have to complicate life a little for him.
"Of course, it depends on me, but also on the luck that he has. In this sport you are not alone on the track and anything can happen -both to him and for me, as was demonstrated in Germany. But it is better to continue focusing on our own work and being up at the front to win races."
