168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Maverick Vinales insists his factory Ducati rivals are now💜 aware of KTM’s strength after their battle in Qatar.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Tech3 KTM rider Vinales sensationally finished second in the Qatar MotoGP, a feelgood stor༒y throughout the whole paddock, only for a tyre pressure penalty to demote him to 14th.

Nevertheless, 💛it was a welcome high for KTM who have endured a miserable year both on and off the track.

Afterwards, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pecco Bagnaia were spotted in an animated discussion with Vinales🌄 about his new bike’s capability.

“It was the first time they’d battled with a KTM, in a real batt💦le, in a r෴ace,” Vinales told TNT Sport.

“Now, they understand the strength of the bike. It was the firstꦗ time they’d seen a KTM fighting at the front, and they could compare a bit.

“It’🌄🌠s obvious our top speed and our engine is one strength of the KTM. We know where to improve.”

Maverick Vinales: "There is a light for KTM"

Vinales had supp🌟osed📖ly predicted his fantastic run in Qatar.

He insisted: “I predicted to be behind someone. I thought I had pote🌼ntial for the podium but not to fight f🐓or the race.

“We need more time to understand the bike 🤪and be more c⛦ompetitive. But in Qatar everything came.

“It clicked in Argentina when we found better balance. I had a really good feeling in ♔Austin which gave me confidence, through technical problems.

“Then in Qatar 𝕴we put a weekend together and we were able to fight at the ไfront, which is a good sign.

“There♑ is a light for KTM because this project is long-term, not short. We have to keep working.”

Despite his high turning into a devastating low, Vinales rꩲemained upbeat.

“I triওed to take the positive points, that I was fast. I ꦺhad deep emotions that were positive,” he said.

“The result on paper was not great, but we fꦿought for the race, and this is important.

“I have learned a💟 lot when I became a father. In the past I was more fiery, it was easier to get frustrated.

“But with two little kids, you cannot g♛et frustrated!

“I bring them sometꦗimes but I have never de𝄹livered a result. It was special to have them there.”

V🤪inales followed up the Qatar MotoGP by finishing fourth on anꦺother big day for KTM in Jerez.

Behind Vinales were the factory KTM pair, Brad Binder and Pedro Acosta,🎀 in sixth and se🦹venth.

Vinales’ teammate Enea Bastianini was nint🌠h, meaning all four of🌳 the manufacturer’s riders were inside the top 10.
