Maverick Viñales is not coming out of a positive period with his Yamaha. It is the least we can say. Before the start of this season, he displayed the ambition of presenting himself as the leader of the Iwata firm. However, he was first beaten by Fabio Quartararo at Jerez 1, then he suffered the same fate at Jerez 2 with, in addition, a lesson given by Valentino Rossi. Brno followed and was synonymous with disappointment. Finally, the double dose of Red Bull Ring clipped his wings, with some nice scares to boot. And now ?

You have to be motivated, I am sure that very good opportunities will present themselves to us ". He adds : " Misano is a circuit that I like and I feel comfortable there. I will go out with the maximum, to win and be in front of what is important. Finally, I think that in this championship, you have to be convinced and enjoy each circuit. The most difficult circuits for us have already passed and now we have to have fun » concludes the Spaniard, currently fourth in the provisional general classification.
