MotoGP | Gp Brno Preview: Vinales, “We can fight for the podium”

MotoGP GP Czech Republic Movistar Yamaha Preview – Maverick Vinales, after having recharged his "batteries" during the summer break, is ready to face the Grand Prix of the Czech Republic, the tenth round of the 2018 Motorcycle World Championship.

The Spanish Yamaha rider, third in the general classification with 109 points against 165 for his Honda compatriot Marc Marquez, is fresh from third place at the Sachsenring, but would like to return to fighting for the victory, which he has been missing since last year's French Grand Prix year. The word is up to him.

“I really enjoyed the summer break. It was necessary to have her in the middle of the season to detach and return with sufficient strength to be able to face the second part as best as possible. From now on we cannot afford to make mistakes. In these few weeks I have trained hard to be ready for Brno and Austria, two tracks that I really like and where I think I can be strong and be able to fight for the podium like in the last races – said Maverick Vinales – I don't want to lose the opportunity to congratulate my team once again for the step forward. The bike worked well in Assen and Sachsenring and I felt really good. However, despite this, we must continue to work and fight, because we are on the right path and we cannot give up. I've relaxed these last few days, but not too much. I decided to stay focused and train as much as possible, because I still have a lot of work to do. I think I understand the bike better than in the past, so I have a good feeling for this race weekend.”
