Maverick Vinales says KTM must keep “an open mind” coming to the MotoGP Spanish Grand Prix following his surprise ride to the podiꦚum in Qatar.

The start to the 2025 season has been well below expectations for KTM, with none of its riders getting close to a podium in the fiℱrst three rounds.

Then at the Qatar GP, Tech3’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Maverick Vinales stunned when he fought for an 11th MotoGP victory before taki🔥ng the chequered fla🦹g in second behind Ducati’s Marc Marquez.

A tyre pressure penalty dropped Vinales to 14th after the race, but KTM motorsport boss Pit Beirer 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:called his rider’s performance “realও”.

For the Spanish GP this weekend, other KTM riders🌠 say they will look at Vinales’ set-up🍸 to try to find more form, while Pedro Acosta will have two 2024 RC16s to ride at Jerez.

Vinales says KTM can’t have “any ideas that limit us” in what it can achieve 💟in the comﷺing races, but has also urged patience.

“Obviously we are happy with the result, but happier with the way we are working, with the way we 💯are learning, and especially the understanding we are having with the bike,” he told MotoGP’s Gear Up show on Thursday at Jerez.

“Obviously it’s a great way to put fire inside the𒁏 factory to really keep working, keep developing, and this is very important for us to keep the motivation.

“We will try, of course [to replicate Qatar].

“In Austin I thi😼nk it was also a weekend to be close to the podium, if not fighting for it, and in Qatar we were fighting for the victory.

“We don’t want to put any ceiling or any ideas thꦦat can limit us.

“We need to really have an open mind and an open mentality to⛄ keep improving.

“And we need to keep deveꦆloping ourselves, because it’s been༒ just four races with KTM.

“So, it’s quite new and it’s a completely different bike, completely different system and di﷽fferent personalities inside the team.

“So, we must all fit together but I think we are in a good ♒direction 🐭and all the pieces are matching into place.”

Vinales has had time to rewatch the Qatar race, but still hasn’t let the penalty get in the way of what he feels are more important takeawaඣys from the grand pri🌳x.

“It was nice to see again🍌 the speed, ไto see again that I can battle with the big names and especially we see some lights in KTM and this is very important,” he added.

“And we must conce𒆙ntrate on the correct things, as we are doing.”
