MOTOGP JAPAN: MIGUEL OLIVEIRA 'COULDN'T SEE WHERE I WAS GOING, RAUL FERNANDEZ FUMING OVER BIKE SWAP PENALTY
Miguel Oliveira retired from Sunday’s Japanese MotoGP due to visibility problems but if he had kept going for just half a lap he would have been credited with sixth place.
The RNF Aprilia rider stormed from 16th to 4th in the opening seven laps, which included a dry-to-wet bike swap."
But like most riders, he was running a ‘dry’ visor set-up, which became overwhelmed by the increasing rain.
The Portuguese was in sixth when he parked his RS-GP in the pits on lap 12 of what was due to be a 24-lap race.
However, the race was then stopped at the start of lap 13, with results taken from the end of lap 12.
With his bike moved from pit lane into the garage, it was unclear if Oliveira would be allowed to join the planned restart.
Examination of the timing of the stoppage and Oliveira’s bike in pitlane saw him classified 18th and one lap down at the conclusion of lap 12.

Pramac Racing's Jorge Martin led the San Marino Grand Prix in Misano Adriatico from start to finish on Sunday to complete a second sprint and race double of the season and cut Francesco Bagnaia's championship lead to 36 points.
The Spaniard finished 1.350 seconds ahead of Marco Bezzecchi of VR46 Racing, who was hampered by a wrist injury he suffered at the Catalan Grand Prix.
Ducati's MotoGP world champion Bagnaia, who had his leg run over in a separate crash last week, finished third.
Bagnaia is top of the riders' standings with 283 points, with Martin (247) in second and Bezzecchi (218) in third.
After his sprint and race double this weekend and a third-placed finish in Catalunya, Martin has reduced Bagnaia's lead by 30 points in just two weeks.
