Tenth place – behind Fabio Quartararo – is the only good thing that can be said about Maverick Vinales’ result at the French GP.
“I lost too much time behind Alex Espargarò. We’ll have other options in Aragon, but it was too easy to fall today – he explained, adding – the tire was too soft in the front. And I wanted to collect points. This race won’t count too much for the World Championship because I just lost something from Fabio, but it’s true that it was a good opportunity.
But wasted. Maverick started really badly so much so that on the first lap he was penultimate from the second row despite his fifth start.
“The fact is, I’ve changed the way I start – he explained – I started without electronics. I did some tests and it worked fine, But then I couldn’t reproduce the same start in the race, maybe because of the noise around me. I’ll try again and we’ll be quick in Aragon ”.
In fact, nothing or very little is lost: this World Championship continues to be a matter for all the drivers who do their best to lose it …
“Fact is that the Yamaha is difficult in the wet; when you are in a race with the others: alone is a completely different matter. I preferred to just overtake Me and not try Fabio so as not to risk a crash. Anything can happen this year and now the super good tracks from Aragon and Valencia are coming. We will get there with all the enthusiasm of the world “.
