🗣 'I really believe that time will give the reason as to why I left.' Aprilia’s Maverick Vinales believes he is being vindicated for his decision to quit the Yamaha MotoGP team in 2021 amid the Japanese marque’s current problems ⬇️
“I really believe that time will give the reason as to why I left,” Vinales said on Thursday ahead of this weekend’s Dutch GP.“But in any case, I was riding behind [Yamaha in Germany] and they were struggling.
“Maybe they will arrive here [at Assen] and they are in front, I don’t know. But in the Sachsenring, they struggled a lot.”Vinales sits 10th in the standings, four points behind Quartararo, having scored Aprilia’s only podium of the season so farThe Aprilia rider’s Germany weekend was curtailed by a double DNF, with his Sunday race retirement due to an engine failure.
“Well, I think in Sachsenring we’ve been very lucky in a certain way because we broke the engine,” he added.“So, I ran all the weekend with engine problems and for us it was very weird in the Sachsenring we were not close enough, because normally our potential there is very high.“Now we understand it, so at least we arrived to Assen knowing this. We tried many things to try to understand and the problem was one thing.
“It’s always very important to understand where the problem was, and at the end we need to believe in our data.“So, if something’s going wrong we need to deeply analyse before things happen. We’ve been very late, because I think Sachsenring was a very good opportunity to do a top five.”
