It is not with such a day on Saturday that Maverick Viñales will be reconciled with the Yamaha staff… The day before, Friday, he was at the forefront and in heaven, with great ambitions on his mind. And why not end this complicated year with a victory? Here we are on Saturday and woes... Literally and figuratively because the Spaniard regrets a fall for which he would like to understand the reasons. Here he is eighth on the starting grid and particularly grumpy…
Maverick Vinales discovered a situation this Saturday like he experienced many others with Yamaha . The day before, everything seemed to be going well, and the next day, everything turned sour. A turnaround which inspires these words from the Spaniard: “ everything changes very quickly, even during free practice » he says. “ We don't really know what the right tire choices are. We can't improve over the weekend ».
“I don’t know why this happens, ask Yamaha”
He continues, scathingly: “ I was fast yesterday but with each session we get worse. I don't know why this happens, ask Yamaha. I don't want to be repetitive.".
He finishes, concisely: “ my expectations are very low, before I only thought about winning but now I know it's impossible. I try to be positive and calm, but it doesn't go well. For next year, everything should remain the same regarding the technicians. We lose someone every year, so I don't know what's going to happen ". 2021 is already promising in the Iwata brand stand…
