Lowly 13th leaves Vinales sounding alarm bells over Aprilia’s current form
Maverick Vinales says 13th in the British Grand Prix is “difficult to accept” as he feels Aprilia’s MotoGP rivals haven’t gained on it but that it has “lowered the potential” of the bike.
Vinales told the media after Sunday’s race that his medium rear tyre severely lost grip after six laps, which led to him finishing 26.7 seconds off the victory and around 15s shy of team-mate Espargaro. Battling with traction issues in the sprint, Vinales says this wasn’t a factor in the grand prix, adding: “We left the bike more open , trying to control as a rider all of the slide and to be honest the spin was under control all the time.
