The 12th place in the main race made it clear the difficulties that Maverick Viñales felt in the Catalunya MotoGP Grand Prix. Without pauses, the Italian GP follows, the home round of his team – Aprilia.
The Spanish rider, who hasn’t reached the top ten at Mugello since 2021, acknowledged that this has been a complicated circuit for him, but he now faces it with the latest version of the RS-GP:
– Mugello has been a demanding track in recent years for me and I have never managed to find the right feeling. I’m rather curious to see how I’ll do with the new bike.
Nevertheless, Viñales emphasized his confidence for this GP: ‘I’m certain that we’ll be able to do a good job because this is Aprilia’s home GP. I’m highly motivated and we’ll be giving it 100%’.
Currently, the rider is in fifth place in the championship, with 87 points. The highlight of the season so far was the victory in the Americas GP, since then he has not returned to the podium.
