MotoGP Austria: Maverick Vinales: “It’s mandatory to improve race starts, I am doing all that I can”

In the sprint, Vinales went from second to seventh before ev🔯en r▨eaching the braking zone for turn one.
A late move by Jorge Martin to the inside of Fabio Quartararo, who ℱalso managed to get alongside Vinales th♛en resulted in all three making contact before a big crash for the likes of Marco Bezzecchi, Miguel Oliveira and Johann Zarco took place.

In the Grand Prix Vinales made a much better launch, however, the same issue of not gaining enough speed as his competitors♒ occurred, which resulted in him d𒆙ropping down to eighth.
Speaking about his start problems, Vinales added: "Yes [it was a better start than Saturday]. But not enough. It's mandatory, and I push the guys so much, because it's🔯 something we must improve.
"Same rhythꦏm we did today, starting in the front, we were on the podium. So I think for us, it's mandatory to improve it, there is no other way.
"But as a rider, I cannot do anything else, I amꦫ doing all that I can, all that they ask me to do, and it's someওthing the technicians have to improve."
On the other side of the Aprilia garage Aleix Espargaro had no such dramas with the starting procedure, however, the BritishGP winner lacked the performance of Vinales throug🌠hout the weekend and was unable to secure anything better than a P7.
Espargaro said: "It was an extremely demanding race physically. It was very hot and at🦂 the beginning I pushed as hard as I co෴uld to try and stay with the leading group.
"Then my performance dropped because I began to feel a drop in the rea⛎r tyre and I also had to manage fuel consumption.
"In any case, I’m fairly satisfied. Throughout the weekend, our performance improved and at the end of the day, I wasn’t too far behind Maverick, who rode at an extremely high level her🌊e.
"We knew that this track ♏doesn’t suit our bike and particularly my riding style, but we took hꦛome some good points in the end. We’ll keep working, as always, to improve."
