MotoGP: Surprise visit from Maverick Viñales… to Alès!

We expected him to Jerez on January 20 and 21 to ride with Johan Zarco, Stefan Bradl and the Superbike riders, but he had felt the rain coming and had canceled his visit at the last moment.

So, Maverick Vinales had ants in my legs and chose the circuit ofAles to get back on track yesterday on a speed track.

Why Alès? Located 400 kilometers from his place of residence in Andorra, the Mechanical Center is closer than the traditional circuits of southern Spain such as Jerez, Cartagena or Almeria. In addition, the weather there is much more favorable at the moment.

It is therefore on the French route of 2500 meters, and under the eye of the always very well informed and “PCR tested” Michelle Turco, who Maverick Vinales warmed up on the handlebars of his Yamaha R1, accompanied on the asphalt by his father, a former hill climb driver who presides over the destiny of the team Supersport 300 !

The technical track therefore receives more and more frequently the high-level of speed and JOhann Zarco does not exclude returning to the Cévennes track with his Ducati V4S before returning to Qatar…
