The environment, for a MotoGP rider, is something essential. Because the Grands Prix are also, and perhaps above all, a mental sport. The settings on the bike and the riding style on the track are not the only elements of performance. There is also human focus in the stands. It is with this potion that Valentino Rossi enjoys eternal youth, this is the novelty announced by Johann zarco for the rest of his career, and it is now the claim of a Maverick Vinales suffering. And who will shake up his professional entourage.
First of all, it is confirmed that Ramón Forcada will no longer be in the official Yamaha box. Maverick Vinales simply doesn't want it anymore and, as had been assumed for a while, it is indeed the current chief engineer of Bradley Smith Estaban Garcia who will be at his side. The man from KTM had won the Moto3 title Vinales. In 2013.
Forked will go to the new Petronas team which will be run by Wilco Zeelemberg. For now, this is bad news for Vinales. The teammate of Red explain : " we need someone to follow you on the track, who observes how you go through certain turns, explains to you and advises you. There are things you can't see on the bike. And it's important to have someone like that. That’s Wilco’s role. It helps you stay calm, it tells you where your mistakes were, because you can go through a turn thousands of times without ever finding the right trajectory. ».
« So it's essential to have someone like that who also observes your opponents and their bikes. The most important thing for me is to compare what I say with what Wilco says ". Now, this Wilco is leaving. But Vinales announces his favorite to succeed him: “ I would like to have Julian Simon by my side. We have very good relations and he is a pilot with great experience ».
