Maverick Vinales declared on Twitter that he would try to overtake Jorge Lorenzo in the World Championship standings: "Already in the Fantastic 4, we will try to catch 3rd."
Anything is possible, but this time his opponent is not called Dani Pedrosa, injured in Japan, but good Jorge Lorenzo, who has just finished ahead of him in Malaysia and whose statistics in Valencia are anything but bad: 3 MotoGP victories, including 2 in the last 3 years.
Ambitious objective, therefore, for the Suzuki driver, especially since he is 17 points behind the Majorcan driver. At least Jorge Lorenzo has been warned…
Furthermore, we note that the victory of Andrea Dovizioso at Sepang pushed him up two places in the standings, while Espargaro Pol, on a circuit that he does not like, was not able to take full advantage of the white result of Cal Crutchlow.
The Avintia team makes a good collective in the ranking, Hector Barbera even passing in front Andrea Iannone while Loris Baz is positioned almost at the head of the last peloton, a short distance from the group Bradl, Miller et Smith.
