In this MotoGP qualifying for the Barcelona Grand Prix, we expected fireworks from Maverick Viñales, like in Misano. But the Yamaha official was satisfied with last place among the four M1s in the running. Which isn't so bad, since he's fifth. However, there is a Ducati in the middle, the bane of Iwata's machines in a straight line. So we shouldn't procrastinate as soon as the lights are out...

Maverick Vinales closed qualifying for the eighth stage of the 2020 MotoGP World Championship, with fifth place. A result which is not favorable because, the day before, he hoped for the first row at worst and pole position at best. Now, here he is in the third row...

The teammate of Valentino Rossi, third, is thus forced to start a fire, this Sunday, in Catalonia: “ the start is always crucial and fifth position is difficult, but not a bad result considering we struggled a lot with the tires this afternoon » tries to put Top Gun into perspective. “ On Sunday we will try to take another step forward. I think maybe we can find something really good for racing ».

“I will go crazy in the first round to pass”

« We're good at pace, we're very consistent and that's the most important thing. Tomorrow I'll go crazy on the first lap to get to the second or third corner and then we'll see. What we understand is that we have a good pace in the last ten or twelve laps, which is important because this track is very demanding on the rear tire. We will see tomorrow, but we are confident for the race " finished Maverick Vinales.
