Vinales recently emerged as one of Honda’s main targets to replace Marc Marquez, however, the Spaniard has given the clearest indication yet that he will remai꧃n with Aprilia. 

Speaking ah🌠ead of this weekend’s Australian MotoGP, Vinales said: “I said it many times, my compromise is 100% with Aprilia.

“We have five races, we are focused, I have a contract next year and 💜I’m fully committed 𝓰to that.” 

Vinales comeಌs into the Phillip Island round off the back of🦂 his second best weekend as an Aprilia rider. 

Vinales, who secured two top four finishes, 🐼including second place in th💞e grand prix is expecting to be fighting at the front again this Sunday. 

“Mandalika was amazing,” said Vinales. “Good to lead some laps because you understand much mor✱e, you gain confid💦ence and rhythm. 

“The expectation here is to fight at the front. I am good at fast corners. If we work well and give the maximum, we w🍨ill have the speed. 

“If I work well, it’ll be a little easier here than at other tracks, because the biꦚke fits the corners. It’s a process and you need races in the front, you build up. 🃏That’s what we are doing.”

Sunday⛦’s race could be chaotic, not just because Phillip Island seems to produce such races anyway, but because 🎐very strong winds have been forecasted.

There’s also the chance of rain, but given his strong performan♛ces in the wet recently, Vinales is not losing any sleep about th🌳e expected conditions.

Vinales said: “In the wet, yes, I am fast with the Aprilia. In Japan I was one of the fastest 𝐆൲on track. 

“In the wet we can be very competitive, but other rivals can be stronဣg. 

“Wind? Let’sꦺ see. I always battle with the wind. I’m used to it. Here, it is easy to go out of the track with one strong [g൩ust of] wind.”
