Maverick Viñales, a prominent Spanish rider, has landed in Qatar with growing form and confidence, driven by recent technical advancements. The strides made since Argentina are underscored by the positive impact of a new bike set-up adopted during the last race.
In his remarks before the upcoming Grand Prix in Doha, Viñales expressed satisfaction with his progress over recent races. He especially highlighted the encouraging vibes from Argentina: “For me, Austin was too early, but that’s fine. I wish it had been the fifth or sixth race on the calendar, but it’s fine. I mean, I knew our team could achieve good results, and that was achieved for us.”
Viñales attributed his improved performance to a pivotal technical decision made in Argentina. “We confirmed that the set-up we used in Argentina, from the Warm Up, is working well and is giving me more of what I like in the bike. So that’s fantastic,” stated the enthused rider.
The continuous progress felt by Viñales is evident as he observed, “Step by step, I’m feeling better. I’m getting the trajectories right, the corner entry phases right, even though I know I can still improve. But every time I go out on track, I feel more in sync with this bike.”
The significance of Viñales’s enhanced sync with his bike cannot be overstated. With this new-found confidence, he is poised for remarkable performances. The forthcoming races will be telling of how these improvements continue to unfold, filling fans with anticipation and excitement for what’s next.
