Minutes before a classic Portuguese coastal storm rolled in at Portimao, we sat down with local legend, Miguel Oliveira, to get to know the man beyond last year’s dream win at his debut home race. Find out what makes him tick and how he’s one of the lucky few riders who relishes the pressure of racing with the weight of a nation on his shoulders. This is a rider not interested in simply the rewards that come with fame from his accolades, but one who wants to inspire a generation of riders from his home country. So, sit back and enjoy… apologies in advance for the wind in the mics, caught out by a rogue storm rolling in. See you next time!
