Viñales: “It has been my worst test with Yamaha”

The Spanish is concerned with the performance of his motorcycle on track, especially because they do not find the main focus of the problem.


Yamaha is lost. In Sepang his performance was behind Honda and Ducati. In Buriram the Suzuki are also there. The performance of the main team of the Japanese brand is so bad if we see that in today’s tests, Johann Zarco was able to score the second fastest time, with the Yamaha Tech 3.

The most serious thing is that they do not know the direction to take. From the team they do not know what to answer. Viñales himself pointed yesterday that it seemed that they had finally found their way, but less than 24 hours later he disdains his words: “Today we have suffered much more than yesterday, Malaysia was the worst test I had with Yamaha and this is going even worse, we thought we had the solution, but finally not. We are using the same electronics as yesterday, but it does not work the same, we have a handicap there that can not be found, this morning when I got on the bike it was exactly the same problem always”, Viñales said angrily.

The reality is that Rossi’s box points to electronics as the main source of the problem, which still shows more than the team does not seem to be heading in the same direction. Viñales can only have a good pace with new tires: “We lose in every area, in all of them. We need a little in all. We do lots of laps but not to much are useless. We are trying everything and nothing works. With new tires more or less I can be there, but then the pace is horrible”, said Maverick.

Today Viñales has been eighth, and his teammate ninth. To this is added the great performance of Honda and the appearance of the Suzuki and more exactly the great performance of Alex Rins, very consistent throughout the weekend. Yamaha should wake up.
