Declarations Maverick Vinales GP Made in Italy and Emilia-Romagna Race

“I'm happy because before the race we made a big change to the balance of the bike, it was a risk but our goal is to try to get to know this bike better and better. It worked great, I had a good pace from the first laps and only having to recover from a bad starting position prevented me from fighting for an even more important result. I'm very confident after what we showed today, step by step we are amalgamating the rider-team-bike package and this is fundamental."

“I'm quite satisfied with the points earned today, especially because my pace wasn't great. Unfortunately I didn't feel good grip from the rear tire and I struggled a lot throughout the race. In light of the complications of this weekend, it is still important to leave Misano with a solid performance, in the championship we are not far from the top-7 and we will try until the last race."
