Sepang MotoGP Test: Maverick Vinales: ‘The way I controlled the spin was excellent’ - main threat to Ducati?

Finishing third overall at 🍷the first of two official MotoGP pre-season tests, Vinales was a constant threat to Ducati riders even though he failed to top the timingsheets on any of the three𒆙 days.
Like team-mate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aleix Espargaro, Vinales was buoyed by theౠ improvements made by Aprilia during the winter break, however, the same can be said for Ducati which is ꦯwhy a ‘pleased and satisfied’ Vinales feels more is still needed in Portimao next month.

- Honda’s bleak as✱sessment: “We must improve maܫny, many things”
"I’m really pleased and satisfied with the work Aprilia did in the winter," added Vinales. "I’m grateful for that. I just feel very natural on the bike but still I feel we can improve quite a lot.&ཧnbspꦚ;
"In the eౠnd we tried a lot of parts - we didn’t need anything on the setting - we just tried parts and I’m just happy. Honestly, I’m very happy with the test. In Portimao we need to make a🔜nother step."
While top speed was one of the many areas where Aprilia looked to have their 2023 RS-GP performing in good 🅰shape, Vinales stated that day three was not about reaching the ไhighest speed possible, but instead working on his weak points from 2022.
Vinales said: "I was not really focused on top speed. I was focused on other things, the things I missed last year. It seems that in those areas we made an improvement. Especially ༒on my side. There’s not much to say. I just want to start racing."
Is Vinales really ready to begin MotoGP racing in 2023?
The answer to that appears to be🧸 yes even if Ducati and the majority of its riders look to bꦅe incredibly strong, both on 2023 and those on 2022 machinery.
VInales, who showed glimpses of being a consistent threat for wins last season, was arguably𝐆 the best performing non-Ducati rider in Sepang which is both good news for where his potential is at, but also the bike’s.🍸

While power delivery was an area that Espargaro felt could have been better ༺at Sepang, Vinales instead stated that it was one of his biggest strengths from🥂 the test after struggling with that area in 2022.
"I feel quite good, honestly,"&nbsไp;said the Spaniard. "I feel like it’s one of the parts I improved the most compared to last year. Especially on acceleration to control the slide.
"In this area I made big improvements during the test. I want to try in another track because the way I controඣlled the speed at this track was excellent. ⛄;
"I want to see if in another trac🌜k I hav༒e the same feeling because with a used tyre it will be crucial.
"When there is a time attack you can push and you can spin, but when there is a race and yo🐈u need to get a good range with the spinning, I think this year I’m able to control it much more.
"Always in my career it was my strꦚong part and last year I didn’t ꦿhave it. In Silverstone I had the chance to win and in Assen I broke the tyre too. But this year I feel like I have it again."
