Maverick Viñales is often considered the one who lost the most in this Coronavirus crisis which confined everyone and prevented the 2020 MotoGP season from starting normally. He was indeed in great shape after training tirelessly in Qatar, the site which should have hosted the first Grand Prix. His Yamaha was lively, its future assured while Marc Marquez suffered both physically and technically on the Honda. Here we are now in July in Jerez. Marc Marquez has regained his form. But Maverick Viñales still has the same appetite…
This time, it's for good. The Grand Prix paddock is set up at Jerez, site where it will live almost in isolation while respecting a strict health protocol for two meetings in two weeks. With the calendar currently only comprising 13 races on eight tracks with the end of the game in mid-November, we will have to quickly get into the rhythm.
So many imperatives understood by a Maverick Vinales which, in addition, must mark its territory also among Yamaha , before the arrival of fabio quartararo by his side. And what's better than a world title? We're not there yet, but we feel that the Yamaha official's roadmap is written along these lines...
“Let’s make it a season full of good memories!” »
« I'm so happy the wait is over! » begins the teammate Valentino Rossi. " We have completed the winter tests in a positive manner. I had a good pre-season because I was calm and had good pace during the tests in Malaysia and Qatar, so I think I will arrive in good shape ».
« But Jerez is a very different type of track, so we will have to see what the current situation is tomorrow during testing. I can’t wait to get back in the saddle, at full throttle and get that “racing feeling”. It's also nice to be back with the team, because I missed them so much. One thing we know for sure: all fans will be watching the Spanish GP at home, so I want to do everything possible during the test to prepare for a good fight for victory or a podium on Sunday. Let’s make it a season full of good memories! ».
