Tech3 MotoGP rider Maverick Vinales says K🍎TM “is not yet prepared” for low-grip conditions, which was exposed during the🌱 British Grand Prix sprint.

After a strong recent run of races for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Maverick Vinales and KTM, it has struggled to replicate that form at the British Grand P﷽rix.

No KTM rider made it into Q2, while its top representative in the 10-lap sprint was 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pedro Acosta in eighth, ಞwitꦿh Vinales taking the chequered flag 13th.

Vinales explained after the sprint that low-grip conditions don’t suit the RC16 right now, which is compromising corner entry and accelܫeratiꩲng tyre wear as a result.

“I think we are making experience for the bike. 𓆉In this track, we are lacking theཧ experience with the KTM,” he said on Saturday at Silverstone.

“We f💎aced a low-grip track and still we are not yet prepared for these conditions.

“So, it’s a good weekend to learn and improve the feelings on the bike, even though I felt quite strong in the sprint, esp🦩ecially after laps six and seven, I was seeing that I was catching the group in front, which was for P7.

“But we lack experience, so we need to b𓆏e patient and to keep working.”

Sunday’s grand prix at Silverstone is expected to see the field run the medium ♈rear tyre due to high levels of wear, which was similar to the Qatar GP where Vinales made a massive jump from the sprint to challenge for the podium.

But💧 he does🎀n’t expect a repeat of this in the British GP.

“For me🤪 the situation is very different than in Qatar,” he added.

“In Qatar you have very hi♉gh grip, especially in terms of late൲ral grip. Here it is very low.

“In many corners, when I need to flick the bike in quick, I have an icy feeling on the rear and as soon 🅰as I have this feeling the bike doesn’t turn.

“I miss the apex, you are 🔯60 degrees [leant over] and you destroy the tyres.

“So, basically what we need to improve is the entry to the corners and then automatically evꦐerything wꦆill improve.

“So, in the sprint improved b🅠ut still we need another step to be competitive. Unfortunately, with low grip still we don’t have anything magic.”

While Vinales preached patience at KTM, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Acosta demanded on Saturday that an imprܫovemenౠt had to be made to the bike soon.

🎶Asked about Acosta’s comments, Vinales said: “I think [we are in] different moments, for su🔯re.

“But I am lacking experience with thiꩲs bike. In this track I can feel we are not well set-up on the entry to the corners, and then that compromises all the acceleration.

“And this is due to the low grip on the track. For example, yesterday it was much easier and today with less grip it’s more complicꦿated on track.

“So, we are lacking the experience and th🦋e set-🍒up when we have no grip.

“I think we have a good base set-up when the conditions are normal, but when the conditions are low-grip there is sti▨ll a lot of work to do, on electronics, but also on the bike.

“Unfortunate꧒ly we lack experieꦅnce, but we are working. We hope the work today [means] we can gain tomorrow.”
