Mave🅘♎rick Vinales insists he is in a 'very positive mood' heading into this weekend's Valencia MotoGP season finale.

After switching fr♎om Suzuki to Yamaha, Vinales dominated pre-season testing and went on to 🐟win three of this year's opening five races.

But the victories suddenly dried up and Vinales lost the points lead with a fall at round eight (Assen), where team-mate Valentino ಌRossi took what remains Yamaha's most recent MotoGP win.

Marc Marquez (Hon💫da) and title rival Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati) have won every race since, with Vinales n♉ow confirmed as finishing third in the world championship, whatever happens at Valencia.

"I arrive in Valencia in a very positive mood. After the last three races in Asia and Oceania I've spent some time at 𒆙home, training and relaxing. The Ricardo Tormo Circuit is a track that I really like, it has a layout that suits my riding style very well.

"We expect nice weather for the entire week, so I will try to push and give my 100% to finish the season with a nice podium at the last round. We are already focused on the next season and we al✱so want to work hard during the test next week."

The Vale🌟ncia test ta🌌kes place on Tuesday and Wednesday.
