Maverick Viñales is certainly grateful to Aleix Espargaró for opening the doors of Aprilia to him when he saw the same Yamaha exits slammed in front of his face. However, we should not tickle him too much about the fact that he must be indebted to him during this period when he is playing in the championship. Even less now when he is starting to understand how RS-GP works. So, when his elder in the box says “ here I am faster than Maverick Viñales », Speaking of the Aragon site which is hosting the fifteenth round of the season this weekend, that makes the Top Gun react…
Aleix Espargaró Did he say too much? The next few hours will tell, but what is certain is that from now on, the question of the team instructions in favor of the best placed in the championship no longer concerns only Ducati... The subject has in fact come up at Aprilia, which only has two motorcycles in its ranks. But that's already enough to create a problem.
Thus, the words of the elder of Suzuki and Yamaha echoing those of his teammate who claims to be the leader of his team on this Aragon route, are enough to provoke reflection among Massimo rivola and his staff… Casa Particular in Viñales begins his remarks thus: “ I have never felt so good on a motorcycle in my entire career. The way I feel on the saddle, the confidence it gives me when I'm on it... Aprilia works very hard. And that's just the beginning. I think in the future I can be very strong with this bike ».
Maverick Vinales: “ I think I will try to win »
A preliminary which smacks of the announcement of an emancipation. Which could arrive this Sunday and in this way: “ if I made it to the last round fighting Aleix, I think I would try to win ". There it is, it says… “ I have very special feelings here, it's a track where I know I can win. We are at the end of the championship, so I think I would try to win. I have always been very strong here, I was also in Moto2 ».
Then he ends by reminding us that he doesn’t like feeling like he’s being fooled: “ since I joined Aprilia, the way they treat me makes me proud and makes me happy. When a team believes in its driver, he can give more every day. It is clear that you also need a fast motorcycle, because without it you will not go anywhere, and our motorcycle is. We reached a very high level with her, even me as a driver I feel that I have improved a lot ". Will Aragon mark the end of the honeymoon between Maverick Vinales et Aleix Espargaró ?
