GP of the Americas – Viñales: "I will try to forget this fall"…

Maverick Viñales did not manage the pass of three in Austin, unlike Franco Morbidelli who signed his third consecutive Moto2 victory at the Grand Prix of the Americas. Having gone to the mat in the second round, the Yamaha official does not take offense at his fall, the cause of which he cannot explain…. MNC Statements and Analysis.

Maverick Vinales, Yamaha-Movistar (2nd in qualifying and retirement due to a crash in the race): "It was a really weird crash. I had ridden similarly in the warm-up and throughout the weekend, but still I made a mistake."…

"I think we’re having some issues with the grip up front. We know we’re strong and fast. We can still be. So I’ll try to forget about that crash and be more consistent in Jerez than here".

Site analysis : Maverick Viñales’ magical honeymoon on the official Yamaha comes to an abrupt end in Austin, with a fall from the front in Turn 18 in the second lap … The 22-year-old Spaniard, winner of the first two Grands Prix in then in, went to the mat as he quickened his pace to climb back from fourth place on Pedrosa, Marquez and Rossi.

Without doubt "Mack" has asked too much of the front tire of his M1 to catch up after an average start, although he vigorously refutes this hypothesis: "we checked everything with the team, the speed and the number of liters in the tank were the same as in the morning ". Viñales claims not to have attacked more in this fast curve and laments the fact that he did not perceive any warning signs before going into the gravel…

"I could not do anything about it, in the same way that it happened to Marc in Argentina", explains the Spaniard, criticizing in half words the sometimes elusive and inconstant behavior of the Michelin: "the tires were not so good that this morning during the warm-up, I did not have the same grip ". An astonishing analysis insofar as the warmer afternoon temperatures favored the reverse, as underlined by the spectacular race carried out by Rossi with the same tires (medium at the front and at the rear).

Another factor to take into account in the reasons for the fall of Viñales: the many bumps of the circuit of Austin which very quickly sanction the slightest deviation of trajectory. However, the No.25 entered curve 18 following a line slightly more outside than that of Rossi and the Honda Boys that preceded him: it is fleeting, but the action can be seen in the video above (at about 11 sec).

Very disappointed to cede the orders of the provisional to his teammate Rossi (with), would the new prodigy of the Yamaha clan neglect this "detail" to get rid of his first white result since his on Suzuki? Still, Viñales fails in the mission he set for himself, perhaps with too much ambition: to end Marquez’s invincibility in Austin. !
