Miguel Oliveira was black flagged in FP3 at Portimao after crashing at Turn 5 and failing to pit before starting a new lap. The regulation requiring riders to return to the pits after a crash is specific to WorldSBK and does not exist in MotoGP. Oliveira clearly forgot the rule applies. A painful lesson for the Portuguese rider at his home round.
