After dominating the Americas GP, Maverick Viñales arrives at the Spanish GP to face another circuit where he is usually strong and very familiar with – Jerez. For that reason, he has legitimate ambitions to continue with good results.
The Aprilia rider emphasized his liking and knowledge of the Andalusian track, as well as always being surrounded by familiar faces and many fans:
– I grew up at the Jerez Circuit and every time I go there, I meet people from home and my fan club. I know every meter of this circuit. It’s a track that I like and where I always want to do well. My best memory is my first victory in the CEV with my 125cc.
Viñales showed confidence in his ability to deliver another strong performance: ‘This year we will be at the top because we have a bike that allows us to be fast everywhere. Jerez is a track where I have always performed well and it will be fantastic to ride there again‘.
At the moment, the #12 is in third place in the championship, 24 points behind the leader, Jorge Martín (Prima Pramac/Ducati). Interestingly, he has never won at Jerez, where his best results were two second places achieved in 2020 – both in the Spanish GP and the Andalusian GP.
