Red Bull KTM Factory Racing's Miguel Oliveira will be hoping there is more to come from him and the team as they prepare for the
Argentine Grand Prix on Sunday, April 3.
The Portuguese didn't finish the season-opening Qatar Grand Prix after falling as he entered turn 1 on lap 11, although team-mate Brad Binder secured P2 with a superb ride on his KTM.

However, Oliveira produced a masterclass in the Indonesian Grand Prix a fortnight later to claim victory on the rain-soaked Mandalika International Street Circuit, with Binder finishing eight due to issues with his rear ride height device.
The 27-year-old, who now has four MotoGP wins under his belt, qualified seventh on the grid in Mandalika, but quickly made his way to the front of the pack after biding his time behind Ducati Lenovo Team's Jack Miller initially to assess the conditions.

"Emotionally, it was a roller coaster. The start was perfect, but in the rain it's always difficult to know what the limits are," Oliveira said, after finishing 2.205 seconds ahead of Monster Energy Yamaha's Fabio Quartararo.
"I followed Jack [Miller] for the first few laps, but when I realised I was faster, I took the lead. From there, I tried to focus on pushing as hard as I could for the next five laps. Then I tried to manage the advantage."
