Portugese MotoGP star and dentist Miguel Oliveria believes he has hit a setup wall with the 2021 Red Bull KTM and is particularly unhappy with its performance in slow turns.

The Almada rider says they are only able to make the RC16 'slightly better' but he is still having to force it to turn while keeping grip.

"The general feeling is we have hit a wall. It doesn’t matter what we do to the bike, we can make it slightly better but it’s not quite there," he said, speaking at the track.

"It’s hard to win with every change we make everywhere. It seems a bit hard at the moment but we don’t give up.

"I felt quite good on the bike to be honest. Unfortunately my feeling did not match the lap-time. We had the potential to go fast and the same as yesterday and we just couldn’t match our best package in the best sectors," said Oliveira.

"It’s still far from the top and it seems to be we are suffering a bit more, but we are doing all we can to come up with solutions and take the maximum from this package.

"We also tried a couple of parts and when you focus only on the set-up of the bike, then it is easier but it’s a mixed job here. We need to do the best we can."

"I would say the first corners are more tight and we need to force the bike to turn and have grip at the same time.

"In fast flowing corners I feel our bike is more or less there. But when you lose more than second at this kind of level, then you need a little bit of everything to catch up the time. I would say the first part of the track is where we are struggling at the moment."
