Miguel Oliveira says that MotoGP from home can seem like too easy a sport, so he recommends get closer to the public.
The Portuguese pilot of theAprilia Trackhouse Racing Miguel Oliveira spurred the MotoGP to make yourself known more closely by the audience at homeafter discovering the complex reality of NASCAR.
Having had the opportunity to visit the headquarters of Trackhouse RacingOliveira was able to get more in touch with that part of the team that also participates in the NASCAR. This he did think again on the famous US championship, since, before that day, he considered it an easy sport. He thought it was just about driving a car that he always has to Turn left. But he changed his mind after the visit to North Carolina.
The pilot was in fact able to experience the sport more closely, driving a NASCAR car for the first time both on the track and in the simulator. This he did to him understand the difficulties of that type of driving and allowed him to observe the hard work of the teams.

In light of this it has reflected on his own championship, MotoGPstating that this too from home may seem like one easy sport. He therefore hypothesized that it would be useful to bring the fans of the world championship closer by showing them a more internal point of view of sport. In this way the public can also change their minds by trying firsthand the difficulties of riding a MotoGP.
Oliveira said: “When you have an internal perspective of sport you understand what it means and you understand that it’s not as simple as it seems on television. We could use some of this in MotoGP too. I think people who watch us live can understand that it’s difficult, but not from home. I think it seems too easy from home these days”.
Can MotoGP and motorsports be defined as sports?
Often the sport motorsports are not considered real sports, because apparently there is no physical activity and the performance comes only from the vehicles. But going to learn more about the various categoriesyou can find that all the drivers are real athletes and that specific sporting preparation is necessary for each motorsport field.
In F1 there is a need, for example, for a certain work on the neck muscles to be able to resist G force of the curves. While in MotoGP the driver’s body is essentially a part of the vehicle, which he must tame and control, putting every muscle into playespecially when cornering.
So in addition to technological innovation in the mechanical and engineering fields, the strategies and different skills that motor sports require, it is also necessary to physical preparation of pilotswhich makes them real athletes.
