Vinales was unable to close down the two leaders, but did show the type of speed that could make him a threat in today’s Grand ♋Prix.

Speaking after his podium result, Vinales said: "It’s a🍨 boost to start the second half of the season like that. We have been on a good level with a lot of speed but we never put the result together. 

"We always had a good chance but for one reason or another we were never able to 🍒complete the objecti🥀ve. 

"But we kept working and we know that if ꦍwe take out the maximum from our bi🔥ke then we can do good races. 

♎"I’m happy because always in thes🐬e conditions we have been struggling. It was amazing that I could fight back and I’m happy with how we are working this weekend."

Still withou𒊎t a race win for Aprilia, V♕inales is bidding to beat Miller in the race to become the first-ever rider to win for three different manufacturers.

But while it could be a possibility at S﷽ilverstone, Vinales is not feeling any adde🎃d pressure. 

"We don’t ne🐈ed this pressure. We need to enjoy it and that’s the main target. 

"In the sprint we did a good race and we will keep this momentum wh⛄ich is really good. 

"Of course, we all have this objective in mind but we will try and enjoy the mom🧜ent and understand where we are. We will try to make it h🌄appen."
