Nevertheless, Viñales liked the result and performance, as he said: ‘However, third place is amazing, battling against the Ducati squad. So I was happy to be there and learning a lot for tomorrow, trying to fight in the front’.
Finally, the rider addressed the fans in Le Mans: ‘I hope you enjoyed a lot the Sprint race and let’s see if tomorrow we can do a better race. So, let’s go!’.
