Oliveira then climbed aboard a BMW S 1000 RR to lead a convoy of fans from Sintra through Estoril and onwards to the Circuito Estoril. The parade continued onto the track before stopping at Turn 7 for a ceremony alongside local authorities. The occasion saw the corner officially named Miguel Oliveira Corner, recognising the Portuguese rider at his home circuit and providing a memorable opening to his home round.
