Oliveira a ensuite pris place au guidon d’une BMW S 1000 RR pour ouvrir la route à un cortège de fans depuis Sintra, à travers Estoril, avant de rejoindre le Circuito Estoril. La parade s’est poursuivie sur le circuit avant de s’arrêter au virage 7 pour une cérémonie en présence des autorités locales.
