It's a Maverick Viñales with a predatory smile and a keen eye who is embarking on an Argentine Grand Prix which he already won in 2017 during his Yamaha days. The Termas de Rio Hondo track is also the one that brought Aprilia what is still its only achievement in MotoGP, with Aleix Espargaró thus opening his victory counter which has never been improved since. So many favorable omens that the Top Gun would like to bring together to add this edition of the Argentine Grand Prix to its list…
An achievement that Maverick Vinales sees it all the more as he is in an environment entirely dedicated to his cause and which he needs to express his potential in MotoGP : " our group has changed a lot, we work well together, this also brings advantages to the bike, which turns better in the corners, which I missed so much last year he says. " The configuration of the bike is much more suited to my riding style, I can brake later, it drives better and that's an exceptional thing for me ».
« I'm curious to see how we'll ride this year he adds. " We are better prepared now, the weather will change, but we will do our best with our bike, trying to fight for victory ". That's it, it's said!
Maverick Vinales: “ when you work well, everything seems easier«
And this is not an accident or an excess of enthusiasm: “ our motivations are strong, but you have to keep your feet on the ground. We want to get the most out of the bike, try to be at the front in all the sessions. I know that I have worked a lot, now you have to be patient because we are still at the start of the season, you have to stay focused and always fighting for the first places ».
Then he ends by paying indirect tribute to his new chief mechanic from Suzuki Manu Cazeaux : " when you work well, everything seems easier. I don't even have to explain myself too much in the box, everything is done with a look, so I can just focus on opening the throttle on the track ».
