Miguel Oliveira wins home race in Portugal to close MotoGP season

PORTIMAO, Portugal -- Miguel Oliveira won at home in MotoGP's season-ending Portuguese Grand Prix on Sunday.

Oliveira won from pole position for his second victory of the season, finishing ahead of Jack Miller and Franco Morbidelli.

"It's unreal. You dream about these kinds of races, and to finally be able to win, it's incredible," Oliveira said. "It's extra special because my family didn't get to see live my first win, and they get to see it live here. An incredible day for me, very emotional."

Oliveira had clinched his first MotoGP career win at Austria's Styrian GP in August.
