Oliveira<\/a> is hoping to be back on a MotoGP prototype at some stage next season, with interest from Aprilia in a test-riding role alongside Lorenzo Savadori for the new 850cc rules in 2027.<\/p>\n\u201cIt’s not up to Aprilia entirely, or to me,\u201d Oliveira said late in the season.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don’t think there’s that much of a rush because plans to test are probably not going to be a reality until mid-season next year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mid-season is when most factories are expected to make a crossover from development of the soon-to-be-extinct 1000cc bikes to future 850cc prototypes.<\/p>\n
Following his final MotoGP race at Valencia, Crash.net asked the five-time KTM MotoGP race winner if there is still a chance of a test riding deal:<\/p>\n
\u201cI would like to say so. We\u2019ll see. There\u2019s still plenty of time. I have to get to know the [WorldSBK] team, start building a good relationship and set priorities. Then we\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n
Oliveira, who raced for Aprilia with RNF\/Trackhouse in 2023-2024, will make his WorldSBK debut during testing at Jerez later this week.<\/p>\n
