'''Miguel Praia''' (born 2 March 1978) is a retired Portuguese [[Motorcycle racing|motorcycle racer]]. He now works on the broadcast team for [[MotoGP]] in Portugal.

==Career==

===Portuguese championships===
Praia was born in [[Portalegre, Portugal|Portalegre]], [[Portugal]]. His first race was in 1994 at the age of 16 on a [[Yamaha Motor|Yamaha]] TZR50. In 1997 he rode a full championship for the first time, finishing 3rd overall riding a Yamaha [[Yamaha TZR125|TZR125]].

After the death of his brother Alberto Praia, he stopped racing, but returned in 1999 riding a Yamaha TZ125 in the Portuguese [[Grand Prix motorcycle racing#125.C2.A0cc and 250.C2.A0cc classes|125GP]] championship, finishing in 6th place.

In 2000, Praia had a good year in the newly established [[Aprilia]] Challenge 125cc, ending most races in 1st place and setting several lap records, but a jury decision in the last round placed him in 2nd position overall.

In 2001, Praia moved up into the 600cc category. He finished in 8th position in Troféu [[Honda CBR600RR]].

After a not outstanding year in a supersport class, 2002 was Praia's breakout year. He set new lap records in most rounds, and became champion for Troféu Honda CBR600RR 2002. In 2003 he repeated this achievement, winning the champion's title for Troféu Honda CBR600RR again.

In 2005, at the end of the Portuguese Stocksport 1000 championship, he entered the [[Superbike World Championship]], winning the last two races on a [[Honda CBR1000RR]] he had never ridden before.

===European championships===
In an attempt to get more and better experience from an international competition, in 2002 and 2003 Miguel Praia raced in [[World Superbike Championship#European Superstock 600 Championship|European Supersport Championship]], as the highest-performing Portuguese racer.

===World championships===
By invitation of the Portuguese Government, Miguel Praia participated in the [[Macau Grand Prix]] in 2002 and in 2003, finishing 5th and 4th respectively. In 2003 he entered the Portuguese round of the [[MotoGP]] 250cc championship as a wildcard and finished 22nd.

2004 was his first year in full World class championships. He joined team NCR Ducati in the [[Superbike World Championship]] along with his teammate [[Garry McCoy]]. As the number 2 in the team and a newcomer into the Superbikes world, Praia had a disappointing season, racing on a [[Ducati 999|Ducati 999RS]] and then a [[Ducati 998|Ducati 998RS]]. He finished the championship in 30th place.

He switched teams the following year to join DFX Extreme team with a [[Yamaha R1]] in 2005, and saw much improvement in his lap times, but in a year with many newcomers from other world championships in the Superbikes class, his finishing placing dropped to 34th.

Praia switched to a lower class in 2006, the [[Supersport World Championship]], but this time with a new Portuguese team, Parkalgar Racing Team, and riding a [[Honda CBR600RR]]. The team experiences some problems in getting the right setup for the machine, and the year did not go well; Praia had to abandon some races due to mechanical failures, and eventually retired from the championship.

In 2007, Praia made better lap times compared with the previous years, but more new rivals from Superbikes and other world championships also joined the championship, and his faster speeds were not reflected in the final standings, again finishing 34th.

In 2008 the Parkalgar Racing Team secured Factory Honda support and a new Honda CBR600RR better shaped then the previous year's ones. The pre-season tests at [[Almería]] (Circuito de Almería) in January raised expectations for the team, with Praia's team-mate [[Craig Jones (motorcycle racer)|Craig Jones]] setting a new lap record for the track and Miguel Praia less than a second behind.
