Barely got off his victorious M1 from the Movistar Yamaha team, Maverick Vinales spoke to the site's microphone MotoGP.com, completely happy to have scored a success on the Bugatti circuit.
You win the race, you lead the championship and you bring Yamaha its 500th victory. How were the last rounds with Valentino?
Maverick Vinales : " amazing ! Amazing ! I gave my best in the last laps, I tried to attack Vale 100%. I prepared very well for sector three because I was very fast there and I could try to overtake. But anyway, when I saw Vale make a mistake, I took the opportunity and attacked 200% to try to escape. And finally, I was able to achieve victory. I'm extremely happy because after two disastrous races, to get the victory with my fastest time at the end is really good. »
