Maverick Viñales entered the MotoGP tests in Losail satisfactorily. Advances in aerodynamics were the main focus for the Aprilia rider, seeking to understand the best options.
The Spaniard said that the start of this test week was more positive: ‘In Sepang, it is clear that we worked a lot and when you put a new bike it is always complicated. Also because in Sepang I started with the old bike, with which I had an incredible feeling. So, when you then go to the new bike, you need time. Here it was much better right from the first lap. But we still need to continue working on the small details‘.
Regarding the work he did yesterday, Viñales commented: ‘We focused a lot on working with aerodynamics, trying to really understand what the best combination is – because there are many combinations and we clarified more or less and said, “Well, let’s go with this.” So, that was the main work we did on Monday. So basically, most of my laps were dedicated to aerodynamics. And then some small details: for example, when I did the Sprint race [simulation], there are some details that we need to work on, but this is normal. Last year was the same‘.
