According to everything that has already been said about the year 2023 for Oliveira, the portuguese seems to have two paths available: either he renews his contract with KTM and moves to Tech3, the team for which he won his first two victories, or he signs a contract with Aprilia to compete for the RNF that next season will be a satellite team of the Italian structure.
