USPA NEWS - Red Bull KTM Factory Racing's Miguel Oliveira dominated in the rain and teammate Brad Binder and moved to the top of MotoGP.
The MotoGP world championship is held for the first time in Indonesia, Miguel Oliveira of Red Bull KTM Factory Racing wins in the wet.
Racing at the Mandalika International Street Circuit In extremely demanding track conditions, Oliveira took her fourth victory in the premier class ahead of Fabio Quartararo, and Johann Zarco who took third place.
Unfortunately, Marc Márquez suffered a concussion following a bad fall in the warm-up and doctors forbade him from taking part in the race.
Oliveira immediately found the right feeling with the bike to take the lead at the start of the second lap, followed by Miller. On the second lap, Miller pushed and took the lead, highlighting his driving skills in the wet.
Álex Rins and Johann Zarco overcame a cautious Quartararo and went after the leading duo of Oliveira and Miller, who swapped positions after four laps.
The rain finally stopped with 13 of the 20 laps left to run, while Oliveira realized a gap of more than two seconds on the pursuer Miller. Halfway through the race, Oliveira managed to put another second between himself and his pursuers. Zarco eventually snatched third place from Rins and tried to narrow the gap with fellow Ducati rider Miller in second. The Frenchman was early with Miller, forcing the Australian to employ a gritty defense, with the duel allowing Quartararo to capture the pair and make it a three-way fight for second place.
Entering the final lap, a quick Quartararo solidified second place and tried to rewind race leader Oliveira, while Zarco finally sent Miller into third on a podium.
Up front, Oliveira was unmatched. Despite Quartararo's belated pressure, the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing rider responded to the reigning champion's pace and mastered the extremely difficult conditions to clinch a fourth win in the premier class.
There was double joy for the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing squad when Oliveira's teammate Brad Binder followed up on his stellar second place last time in Qatar with seventh place. The result gives the South
African the lead in the MotoGP standings, which means the team heads to Argentina at the top of both the riders and manufacturers standings.
