It's a Maverick Viñales from the bad days who had finished with his Grand Prix of the Czech Republic. A bad mood that he promised to prolong during a Monday test day on the same Brno track, proclaiming to anyone who would listen that he did not care about what Yamaha had prepared for 2020. Spanish is definitely difficult to pin down…
Lynn Jarvis had put his finger on the functioning of Maverick Vinales during the summer break. When the planets are aligned, he is among the best and raves about his team. But when the grain of sand disturbs the machine, everything stops. And the cycle of torment invades him.
A Brno, during the tenth round of the MotoGP championship, he was caught up in problems. So much so that when it came time to take stock, he threw his Yamaha away and everything else with it… “ It took me seven laps to overtake Bagnaia, a second and a half slower than me. I was unable to push, I couldn't overcome it because of the lack of traction and top speed. I couldn't move forward in any curve. This is what happens with Yamaha, which does not work with little grip ».
He pursues : " when it rains and dries out, our bike loses everything. We were lucky at Assen and Sachsenring. If the track had not dried out here, the result could have been very different. I drove like during warm-up, but a second slower ».
Suffice to say that his tenth place was far from satisfying him. And he has it bad. His team could suffer the consequences. He declares thus before finishing: “ now I want to focus on Austria to go fast there and be in front, I don't care what happens in 2020. Next year's bike is there, but I won't try it ».
That promises for the test this Monday…
