Oliveira, who is now placed 10th on the Riders' standings, described his performance in Italy as a good result and he is looking to carry the momentum to Barcelona.
"Everything went accordingly to the best plan I could have imagined. The beginning of the race I couldn’t stay with the top group because I had the hard front tyre.
"I was a bit more careful. I needed to give it a good warm up before I began to push and then everything worked really well. I managed to overtake Johann [Zarco] and then keep the other Joan [Mir] behind.
"I really enjoyed riding today given the circumstances we all know. It’s a good result to carry this momentum into Barcelona."
Yamaha are placed at the top of Constructors' Championship standings and they are followed by Ducati and Suzuki respectively.
