The factory Aprilia rider was consistently fast throughout the day before oveꦆrhauling Marc Marquez heading into the final hour.

Vinales, who was winless again last season, showed enough potential to change that going forward, but to do so he is looking to have a more complete bike for the sta𓂃rt of next season. 

• Yamaha:𝕴 Three different ﷺitems, aero ‘priority’, Rins ‘so happy’ 
• Ciabatti: “Bagnaia is world champion b🏅ecau🐬se he deserves to be”

Asked what items were tried at the one-day test, Vinales said: “Not a lot of big things. It was just very important to unde🌸rstand a few directions for the next year. 

“Ofꦅ course, sometimes I’m demanding something different than the other Aprilia riders so it was important to work. 

“I tried different aerodynamics and it was important to define it in Valencia. Some swinga🎃rms which were very different, different seats, different fuel tanks. I just wanted to be more confident.”

Vinales was Aprilia’s strongest rider down t🐬he stretch in 2023 and should start next season wit💮h the confidence to fight for race wins.

A bike that brakes late but tuꦉrns tight was the biggest demand from the Spaniard who wants to have it in time for the season-opener.

Vinales said: “I’m looking for a bike that can brake late because I want something that’s ꦫgood on the brakes but turns tight. 

“I’m looking for that and looking fo🐠r more pickup on the acceleration. Every time I can do that I gain a lot of grip compared to a normal riding style. 

“So we were just c𒀰hoosing the directioღn for next year. One of the main parts to improve was the start which we accomplished.”
