Vinales assures him, Aprilia will be in the running at Jerez

Author of a flawless performance during the GP of the Americas, Maverick Vinales arrives in Spain with the firm intention of continuing his momentum. While he will compete in Jerez in his first home Grand Prix of the season, the Iberian is counting on the Aprilia men to spare no effort.

“To repeat what we did in Austin is a dream, comments the latest winner during the Spanish GP press conference. It would be really great to be able to win here in Jerez, but we have to be realistic and smart in our approach. Not every Grand Prix will be similar to that of the Americas.

We have to work, and continue to want to stay on top, He continues. Not just during competition weekends, but every day we spend working on our project.

We will now enter a rather important weekend, as the official tests will follow. Aprilia must store as much information as possible. »

On the track, Vinales believes that the RS-GP he has has a chance of competing with Ducati's Desmosedici. However, we will have to be careful to work on the machine's weaknesses to hope to repeat the feat of its American weekend.

“We have a good chance of being competitive this weekend, because our bike suits the circuit quite well. The objective will be not to lose too much time in the slow corners, where Ducati has the upper hand. We will also have to try to take advantage of our strength, namely fast turns. However, we must remain calm and continue to raise the bar. Obviously, if we win I will be the happiest” concludes Vinales.
