Oliveira In Trouble M iguel Oliveira was absent from France as he recovered from the serious shoulder injury sustained in the main race at the Span- ish GP. While immediate medical attention successfully repositioned his dislocated left shoulder, further assessments revealed a more severe injury, including a fracture in the humer - us and an anterior ligamentous labrum injury. "Ideally, he needs to have surgery," admit- ted RNF Aprilia Team Principle Razlan Razali. "But that would take three to four months. A MotoGP rider doesn't have this luxury to sit out this long. So, he's letting it heal naturally, with a lot of physio and treatment. He's off the shoulder brace now, doing some kind of training. But we're a bit wary, of course, because a shoulder injury for a MotoGP rider takes a long time. It's not his first injury in that area, and when you reinjure there, it's hard. I've got no words to describe how we were feeling in Jerez. We started the year really well. We could smell that first podium. But this thing happens." Teammate Raul Fernandez withdrew after do - ing three laps in P1 as his arm hadn't recovered enough strength from surgery, he got to alleviate arm pump. Aprilia test rider Lorenzo Savadori stood in for Oliveira at Le Mans. Neil Morrison WIND IN THE P62 Can someone please give this man a little good luck? 2023 has not been kind to Miguel Oliveira. No Room For Error: Isle of Man TT Documentary Series T he 2023 Isle of Man TT is just around the corner and to celebrate, the race organizers will debut their new docu-series dubbed "No Room For Error" on their TT+ live streaming app. The four-part series features a host of the TT's biggest names, including Peter Hickman, Michael Dunlop, Dean Harrison and James Hillier (as well as Cycle News' own 2022 TT debutant, Rennie Scay- sbrook) for the most honest, in-depth look at what really goes on in the background of the world's most famous motorcycle race. The cameras were rolling at almost every given opportunity in 2022, the first year the TT ran since 2019 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and captured plenty of off-the- cuff moments that Scaysbrook wishes didn't make the final cut. Think of it as the TT's "Drive To Survive" equivalent, the series that has seen For- mula One's popularity, especially in the U.S., reach stratospheric levels in the last few years. "No Room For Error" will be showing on the TT Live + app from May 22 onwards. Stay tuned to Cycle News for lots of content and follow along as Rennie steps up to the Wilson Craig Honda in the Superbike, Superstock and Senior TT races in 2023. CN
