Maverick Vinales is excited to get to the Italian Grand Prix after recent improvements at the Aragon Test.
After finding improvements at the Aragon Test, Maverick Vinales is eager to get the Italian Grand Prix underway.
In recent events, Vinales has shown podium pace at Aragon and Silverstone but has been held back by crashes and poor qualifying.
The latest aerodynamic package that Vinales was able to test at the Aragon Test allowed him to turn better without braking.
"I am excited to go to Mugello after such a positive weekend in Aragon and at the test," Vinales said.
"We found the improvements that we needed during the test, so I want to see if we can apply these into the race weekend in Italy.
"In Aragon, we understood that we could be at the level of the top guys, but it is going to be important for us to make the right strategies in qualifying, because our target is clearly to place our bike on the first row.
"I am feeling very positive, the bike is fast, I know that I can be fast, so we just need to put it all together, and hopefully we can have a strong weekend in Italy. Mugello is a very special layout, I am excited to see what awaits us there!"
"MotoGP carries on with the European tour with the next stop in Italy at the famous Mugello track," said Nicolas Goyon, Red Bull KTM Tech3 Team Manager.
"Its layout, drawn in the Tuscan hills, is considered by most riders as one of the best of the championship.
"The last stop in Aragon was pretty intensive with a Monday test during which we mainly focused on aero, electronics, and other development parts. Some of them will be used in Italy and will help us understand whether our direction is good or not.
"Maverick ViƱales was impressive in the test, finishing at the top of the timesheets, which shows his current good form, and we know he will aim for a top 5 finish on a track he really enjoys. The key will be once again qualifying, which we need to improve on, and this is why it was one of our focus points during the test."
