Disappointed but not dejected At the end of his very modest qualification in 13th place on the grid, Maverick Vinales intended to do everything to take advantage of the good weather conditions to make a splendid comeback.
The Suzuki driver therefore fulfilled his contract, even if he had to overcome the pitfalls of Aleix Espargaro, his teammate, and Andrea Dovizioso.
Barely getting off his GSX-RR in 3rd position in this Australian grand prix, the Spanish rider spoke to the site's microphone MotoGP.com
Maverick, this is your second consecutive podium. How hard was it against Aleix and Dovi?
Maverick Vinales : “Yes, it was very difficult because I very quickly came back on Aleix and Dovi and I tried to pass them, but it was very difficult to overtake Dovi. Afterwards, I gave my best, I'm sorry for Aleix who fell; Honestly, I hope it's ok. But I'm really happy. Thanks to the team because we made a really tough choice going forward, and we ultimately bring home 16 points. It is so good ! »
