Maverick Vinales admits a feeling of perplexity at the end of the 2020 MotoGP season. And on Valentino Rossi: “I admire him, he has incredible motivation.”
The double podium in Jerez had left the idea of one more season for Maverick Vinales. Then only one victory at Misano, the rest almost total darkness. The MotoGP title assault ended immediately, after poor results in Brno and Austria. And the World Cup final is just as sad with only one top 10 in the last three races. It is said that “upset because he didn’t understand anything“But now you listen”stronger than ever“Get excited again in 2021 and aim for the title. “I have been calm at home, reflecting and trying to figure out what we need to improve. It is important to get rid of the bad feelings of the year“.
In an interview with Europa Press, Maverick Vinales also lists the positive aspects of this 2020 ”.I managed to finish first on the team, which was important. I gave Yamaha good pointers to improve“There are negative results on some tracks where the lack of grip at the rear prevented him from giving his best.”We went from winning a race to 10th place and this is very bad for a driver’s mind. It is very difficult to deal with that situation because you never know where you will be and that makes everything difficult.“For the next MotoGP event, the priority is to find more traction.”We have been trying to improve this for a few years so it is not an easy task. But we will make it, I’m sure of it. I have learned to be patient. My greatest virtue this year is confidence“.
Charging after winter break
During winter break he will continue to improve both mentally and physically. You have to keep your motivation high, train without taking risks. “We will improve because Yamaha is doing it all. This situation is not easy for them because it is a winning brand – Maverick Vinales added. They will bet everything… This Christmas I will spend it at home. I will not see my family, especially I do it for my grandfather. You never know, it can be negative and then carry Covid on the go. So nothing, I stay home“. The next MotoGP season should have a more regular schedule, without repeated races on the same circuit. A significant aspect that could break the balance again, without taking anything away from Joan Mir.”I am very happy for Joan and Suzuki. They deserve it and have worked hard to get it. The rivals were better than us“.
From 2021 he will have a new partner. Fabio Quartararo will replace Valentino Rossi, with the Doctor wearing the Petronas SRT livery. Viñales acknowledges that the 41-year-old from Tavullia has “incredible motivation. It is wonderful. I admire him a lot. I think I’ll stop long before him“. Finally, the desire to see Marc Márquez on the grid again soon.”I send him a message of support, may he recover well and we hope to see him compete at the top in 2021. He is one of the most important characters in the world of motorcycling and having him there motivates you to go faster.“.
