After the disappointment of Jerez, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Maverick Vinales and Aprilia were back on the MotoGP podium with third place in Saturday’s Le Mans Sprinꩲt.

Vinales was handed the rostrum when Marco Bezzecchi fell from second place in the closing stages, but later revealed he had been nursing an overheating ꦕrear tyre throughout the 13 laps.

If that issue can be improved for Sunday, Vinales feels he has the pace to𝓰 fight for victory… assuming it stays dry.

“From the🔥 race start I struggled w🥂ith the rear tyre overheating,” Vinales said. “So I was locking a lot and going into the corners sideways. 

“We need to figure out why, but we can still be pleased with the result. Being on the podium, despite the less than optim🅰um condi𝐆tions with the bike, is an extremely positive result.

“I'm quite happy and quite optimistic for tomorrow that if we solve the problem of the rear temperature of the tyre, we will do an amazing race. We need to look forward and believe that we can🧔 do it.

“We’ll try to be out front straight away again.”

Team-mate Aleix Espargaro held third place ♔in the early stages but was handed a double long-lap penalty for jumping the start.

“It’s a shame that I made a mistake at the start ꦍbut I still am not entirely comfortable with this clutch,” Espargaro꧋ said.

“I’m not really understanding the bite point of the clutch. I’v𝓡e been very close to a jump start at other rounds and today I didn’t gain an𒆙y time but I moved the bike so rules are rules.

“In spite of the penaltꦬy, I still managed to finish fifth and that is extremely important. It will not be as hot in the [Sunday] race and that will help us manage the t✨yres.

“The bike is working well and I 𓂃have the pace to stay with the best.”
