Miguel Oliveira becomes first Portuguese to win MotoGP

SPIELBERG: KTM Tech3's Miguel Oliveira became the first Portuguese rider to claim a MotoGP victory in the Styrian Grand Prix on Sunday in a race that was restarted after a horror crash involving Championship contender Maverick Vinales produced a red flag.

Oliveira edged Pramac Ducati's Jack Miller and pole-sitter Pol Espargaro of KTM in a three-way battle on the final lap, sealing a first-ever premier class victory for the KTM Tech3 team.

"I'm very emotional right now," the 25-year-old Oliveira said.

"I'm thankful to all the people who believed in me, including my family, the team and the sponsors. It's history today for me and my country. I couldn't be happier to have done it here at the home of (of my team) at the Red Bull Circuit." Agencies
