This year, Maverick Viñales completed his second full MotoGP season with Aprilia. The rider stepped on the podium twice, but like the manufacturer in general fell somewhat short of the set goals.
Carlo Pernat gives the Spanish rider an average grade. In statements to the site GPOne.com, the rider’s manager recognized Viñales’ potential, not without making a criticism:
– Grade 5. I’m not mad at him, but I give him a failing grade. He is technically a very strong rider, a champion, but he can’t always blame the start, it’s becoming a joke.
