With the newfound happiness of Maverick Viñales aboard an Aprilia, with which he will relaunch his career as a MotoGP rider next weekend in Aragon, perhaps the tensions between the Viñales family and Yamaha have eased. Indeed, in Father Angel's SuperSport300 team, we can see at Magny-Cours that the R3s fitted with tuning forks are in operation. However, the divorce had been announced…
We will remember the exit of the father of Maverick Vinales at the end of a Styrian Grand Prix of MotoGP where the prodigal son had experienced the last great disappointment with his M1. Before the layoff was pronounced, the man named Angel had thus set the tone for the breakup which actually followed: “ enough, it's shameful to do that to a pilot ". Insinuating that, perhaps, it wasn't a normal racing failure or human error that caused his son's motorcycle to stop moments before the green light. “ The silence is over! It is shameful ! Doing these things to the pilot because he's leaving ».
At the same time, the same Angel announced that his team in WSS300 would no longer tolerate the presence of Yamaha R3. And that another manufacturer was sought. But we must believe that he was not found. On the trail of Magny-Cours, the Spanish team was still with its Iwata machines.
