Since Valentino Rossi recovering from a broken leg during enduro training, Yamaha is only counting on Maverick Viñales alone to win the title at stake this year. At least at this stage of the season, which still leaves five Grands Prix to conquer. But with now 42 points behind after his first loss, the principle of reality dictates that we concentrate on his last weapon which is 16 points behind the two leaders. However, the troops miss the Doctor, and Viñales is the first to miss him.

Maverick Vinales was happy with his first two days spent in the dry in Misano. And he was a little less happy during the third rainy one, and essential since it was about the race. The Spaniard could not do better than fourth, without ever being a danger for the leading trio. The M1 with the 2018 chassis is good in the dry, but there is still work to do in the rain.

A job that is best accomplished in harmony between two people. As the season enters its final stretch, Casa Particular in Viñales would like to count on all the support. Including that of his teammate to whom he wishes a rapid convalescence: “ I think it would be better for everyone if Valentino came back quickly. Because he knows the bike very well and he knows how to make it go fast. For me too, it's easier when he's there because I can compare the data. When you have a teammate faster than you, you attack more and you discover the limits of your bike ».

In Aragon, this will not be the case for Casa Particular in Viñales which will be flanked by van der mark came from Superbike. He will therefore have to wait until Japan.
