Young Spaniard – Maverick Viñales has 21 years. He is a young Spaniard and is the rising talent of the Moto GP. Just before the Italian GP, Yamaha formalized an agreement with the young Spaniard for the 2017 season. Next season Maverick will replace Jorge Lorenzo, next to his idol Valentino Rossi. “It makes me honor. That means I’ve managed my job well.” said Vinales at insella. it, an Italian site. “I took the podium with Suzuki at Le Mans. It was very, very important. When I can find out all my talent and ride the bike how I like it, I can be very fast.”
The new teammate of the young Spaniard will be the champion Valentino Rossi. A legend of the Moto GP. However, this did not scare Vinales. “It’s just a teammate. He is a heavy character, but I think when you are in a team you have to do your job. You have to educate your work, try to exercise your best result, the best of you. I’m not afraid, but I think we can do a good job.” adds Vinales. The young Spanish of Suzuki also spoke about the new Michelin tires. “Since the first test in Valencia, my feeling was good. I felt safe, even though I fell twice. The new tires are good for my bike. In some races the harder rubber was the wrong option and we suffered from the lack of grip. Now Michelin gives the soft tire again and I’m happy. Even with the front things have improved a good deal after some difficulties. Now we have found a good setup. I have nothing to say.”
The Young Spaniard praises Michelin
Vinales justifies so many falls at the start of the season. “In the end, you go to the max. Bridgestone allowed more margin for error. Michelin needs more precision. We still have to produce well and from here until the end of the season the rubber I think will improve a lot. Michelin is doing a respectable job.“
