Miguel Oliveira believes that the problems that men like Marc Márquez or Fabio Quartararo are going through are due to the fact that “no rider can overcome the capacity of current motorcycles”.

I feel like Olivera might be saying that from a point of insecurity. Sure, the technical advantage of the Ducati is huge. But if you put a rider like Marc or Fabio on a KTM or Aprilia, I would bet that they would do better than some of the current riders in those factories. It’s the same as it always has been. Success is MotoGP is a team sport and requires both the rider and the manufacturer to be at the top of their game to win.
