At a time when Aprilia riders are reportedly receiving huge harassment from Repsol Honda to take the place left by Marc Marquez, Maverick Viñales is showing service, also showing that he is satisfied with his RS-GP.

There has been constant happiness on the Spanish driver’s face throughout the season and Friday at Phillip Island brought more smiles, with the ‘Top Gun Maverick’ ending the day in 3rd position. In a debrief, the spanish rider said that little or nothing changed in his Aprilia, revealing only the lack of grip of the rear wheel in the last corner:

– It wasn’t bad, I’m happy. Very happy. The positive thing is that we were able to find good speed again and a good feeling with the bike, on a different track again and that’s great, it’s good news. There’s not much more to say about today honestly. I tried to ride the bike, understand the tyres, understand what’s going to happen in the race, the pace and we didn’t work too much on the bike because we think it’s working quite well. Only at the exit of the last corner; we are with bad traction, but it’s something we have to work on a little bit with the electronics. (…) In sector 3 I’m very fast. For me it’s just a matter of traction, because the bike is working really well, so it’s just a matter of traction. We must understand that and that’s all. It doesn’t mean that the bike is malfunctioning because it has little traction in the last corner. The bike is working well, it’s just missing that, but it’s not just me, it’s all Aprilia. It’s something we have to understand for tomorrow.

Viñales was also in favor of the race direction in changing the schedules, putting the long race on Saturday and the Sprint on Sunday, saying that after so many rounds, all the riders are ready, pointing out Jorge Martin, Brad Binder and Jack Miller as the riders to take into account tomorrow:

– They’re all ready. It was a good decision. They’re all set. After running 5 weeks in a row everyone is ready, it’s not like the second race… Everyone is ready. Today, only three riders could make a difference, but it’s going to be tough. (…) I think Martin is very, very fast and so are the two KTM riders. They’re also very fast. Not just on one lap. I don’t know, I think with the soft I get the best pace, on paper, but we need to improve the last sector and with that I can be at 1.29 low. Let’s see if tomorrow we improve and then nothing else. It was a good day.
