“Introvert, shy” Maverick Vinales praised for finding “last piece of the jigsaw”
“I genuinelဣy thought that the last piece of ꦬthe jigsaw was not there"

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Maverick Vinales has been praised for finding the confide🐻nce and bravery required to win a grand prix.
Vinales won for the first time in three years last weekend at the Circuit of the Americas to become the first MotoGP rider to experience victory for three m𒁃anufac♒turers.
Bu✤t after letting similar opportunities pass, causing some in the paddock to lose faith, he has been hailed for rediscovering ꦕthe winning formula.
Neil Hodgson told TNT Sports: “He’s been in poﷺsitions where he should have won. ♐He’s had strong weekends.
“Mav𒀰erick has always been on good bikes. A factory Yamaha rider, factory Suzuki…
“He has had opportuniti🥂es and he h꧙as under-delivered.
“We’ve been negative🧸 about him, and I hate being negative aboutꦛ a rider.
“But soﷺ many times we’vღe said ‘he has not quite delivered…’
“I genuinely thought that the last piece of th♕e jigsaw was not there.
“It looks like, the way he’s riding now and t𓆉he balance on his motorcycle, we💟’re going to see it more often.
“Would you bet against 🐻him in Jerez? I still need to see more from Maveric♉k.
“I’m 50-50. But you wouldn’t bet agains💧t him in﷽ Jerez.”
The past few years have not lived up to✃ Vinales’ Yamaha heyday, where he ended two seasons third in the standings.
Thr💜ee grand pr💮ix podiums last season could only yield an seventh place overall finish.
“He has beaten himself up,” Hodgson said.
“Not physically. Much worse, mentally.
“I know him well enough. You see him walk around the paddock in a dark period, wh🔴en results aren’t🌄 there, and he’s under-performed.
“He is an ♑introvert, he’s shy, he doesn’t g🔜ive anyone eye contact.
“Bec𒀰ause he’s so talented, it’s worse! The hardest bit is having the ability.
“Some people✤ don’t have the ability - they are brave, g♓ood motorcycle racers…
“But he’s got i𝄹t all. And now he’s using it to his best.”
Vinale✱s added his COTA victory with Aprilia to previous wins with Suzuki and Yamaha, as a result succeeding with three manufacturers where Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenಞzo failed.
But his COTA win - where he lost pole position, fell to 11th, then clambered back to the front - was no flu🎐ke.
His Aprilia h🌞as been labelled the fastest bike at all three rounds by Massimo Rivo♒la, raising expectation for what Vinales might be able to do at Jerez, the fourth round next week.
Heꦫ has also won back-to-back sprint races at Portimao and Texas.
