\u201cAnd the race was confirmation of that. I had very constant pace, good pace.<\/p>\n

When asked about his emotions at the end of his final MotoGP race, Oliveira said: \u201cExcited, sad, happy.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a little bit of a mix. I\u2019m excited to be moving onto another paddock and taking on another challenge, which is as scary as it is exciting.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sad to see that I have a lot of potential in this paddock, and I have to leave like this.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut that\u2019s the emotion. But today was a good day, was a celebration day, and I\u2019m happy enough to finish like this.\u201d<\/p>\n
