MotoGP: Spaniard Maverick Vinales has taken out the Americas GP in what was a crash-ridden race in Texas.
Of the 11 Spanish riders set to step out in their own backyard for this weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix at Jerez, only four haven’t won MotoGP races. But it’s a home hero who’ll start just his fourth premier-class Grand Prix this Sunday who’s hogging all of the pre-race headlines – and it’s easy to see why., and among the standout starts we’ve ever seen.
With so much attention so suddenly, Acosta could be forgiven for being distracted or getting ahead of himself, but says heading home to the coastal town of Mazarron between races has helped him put his early success into perspective.“I see how real life is and how people are working hard like that. For this, maintaining the feet on the ground , when you see that, is quite normal.“
“It’s true that now we are in a sweet moment, but it’s so easy to go well and then go bad. We need to be calm, keep the feet on the ground and not think about anything.” “I try to be more focused on the beginning of the season because it’s always a point where I struggle,” Martin said. “I remember I had a really competitive pace but I struggled to overtake and finished fourth, so I will work hard on this side to try to be faster and make the podium in both races.”
