People MotoGP Portugal: big anger from Viñales who closes his Twitter account

Would Maverick Viñales break down already? We know that he expects a lot from this 2021 season, which he has already said he considers essential for his career. With the departure of Valentino Rossi, he presented himself by seniority as the leader of the official Yamaha team and firstly in front of his young and new teammate Quartararo. During the first race in Qatar, he looked comfortable in this boss suit. Then Doha showed that this was not a given after all. After Portugal, he seems to have fallen back into the impulsiveness and annoyance which are his faults. But this time, given the context, he seems well and truly exasperated. It all started in Portimao, after qualifying…

Personalized qualifications in Portimao where he found himself sanctioned after the sensors on the track reported him for having touched the forbidden green part of the track. Maverick Vinales was therefore dispossessed of his best time and demoted to twelfth place on the starting grid.

From there, a rumor spread that the official Yamaha allegedly flew into a rage, going to see the officials and Dorna to tell them what they had done and apparently threatened to leave the championship. A situation which emerged in the exchanges on his Twitter account. The Spaniard responded by denying, even congratulating Dorna for the organization of its championship.

But the debates slipped on the level it displays with the factory M1 and some asked that this machine be given to Franco Morbidelli to assess what he would do with it. Casa Particular in Viñales would then have responded that he was willing to give his Yamaha to anyone who wants it. Then he threatened to close his Twitter account. Which he finally did immediately.

Viñales gives his Yamaha to whoever wants it

Here are his more than 350 orphan “followers”. Still, all this reveals to us a Casa Particular in Viñales exasperated, making his social network an expiatory victim, collateral damage of a great disappointment to see, in 2021, situations on the track experienced in recent seasons, and which he hoped to never experience again. Meanwhile, his teammate fabio quartararo released two dazzling consecutive races which were as many convincing victories. The Frenchman is leader of the championship.

By the way, if Casa Particular in Viñales was downgraded to twelfth on the starting grid and finished eleventh at Portimao, he was with bagnaia downgraded to eleventh because he was deprived of a record lap which gave him pole position, but done under the yellow flag regime. However, the official Ducati kept his nerve to make a solid comeback in the race which took him up to second place.
