A third place for Maverick Vinales i🍃n Practice at the Aragon MotoGP represented a solid result for the Spaniard, but he admitted he needs to improve.

Vinales felt that there was one area of the track, sector four — which starts on the exit of t🐭urn𒉰 15 and runs to the finish line — where he needs to improve.

“The day has been good, to ꩵbe honest,” Vinales told MotoGP.com. “Somehow, I felt in one lap I can be very fast, but I need to improve the rhythm, sector four especially.

“So, I’m going to try to concentrate really well, try t꧑o understand how to improve it, we know we lost a little bit 🀅in some parts of the fourth sector. But if we are able to improve there, I think we are close to the top.”

The new asphalt in Aragon had been a major talking point on Friday,🐓 with relatively low grip for a fresh track surface.

“It’s always kind of interesting when you go to a new surface because things are more open, everyone is🦹 closer, so we need to see tomorrow,” Vinales explained. “I rememꦕber, in Austin we improve a lot from Friday to Saturday, so we need to look at it like that and see what we can achieve.”

Vinales felt he can be among the top con🔴tenders in Aragon, but he was also certain of who is the rider to beat at MotorLand.

“For sure, the guy 🔜to beat will be Marc [Marquez], and then I think we can be there,” he said.
