Maverick Vinales finished his first day of Italian Grand Prix as second Yamaha rider to an honorable fifth place. But to the radiant face of Fabio Quartararo, first in the Yamaha clan with a second time, the Spaniard presented a concerned look. And for good reason, the Frenchman is the exception within the Iwata manufacturer who confirms a rule that the M1 is complicated to master at Mugello this weekend...
Maverick Vinales closed the first day of free practice for the Mugello Grand Prix, sixth stage of the 2019 World Championship, in fifth place. The Spaniard from Yamaha, after a difficult first session, managed to find something in the Tuscan afternoon allowing him to enter the top ten.
However, the teammate of a Red in bad shape found no reason to rejoice… “ In the afternoon I improved the bike. Only by riding better and trying to stay low on the bike, I managed to improve a lot, but the bike is still very difficult, it's nervous. I couldn't drive very well ».
« We have to keep working and try to be better this Saturday. I'm struggling everywhere, so we have to improve and work if we want to fight for the race. Getting a first or second row at the end of qualifying will be very important. It's such a long race, so you have to start at the front » finishes the Spaniard.
