Tech3 KTM’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Maverick Vinales urged his team to “forget” Silverstone after enduring a difficult British MotoGP weekend that saw him qualify a loꦡwly 18th and finish both races 🍨outside the top ten.

In podꦺium contention during th🧜e previous three rounds, the Spaniard faced a weekend marred by technical issues and grip struggles.

“This weekend, to be honest, I didn't change too much [on the bike] because I have faith in the bike [set-up] w😼e have,” Vinales said.

“But I had a technical issue on Friday, then I was in Q1, 🅷and if you start ꦆ18th, it’s hard.

“I had th𓆏e rhythm to be fighting for the top five today, but starting at the back, I fought with everybody.

“I fough🅷t with Enea, with Raul, with Brad... So much that I lost 6-7 seconds in five laps. And that's where you lose the race.”

A༒lthough disappointed, Vinales focused on his strong performance at other circuits.

“I think this track is very🔜 particular, very𒅌 unique and edge grip is not our strength,” he explained.

“So we need to forget this track and concentrate on Aragon because for surജe this was not the real potential of the bike.

“In Le Mans and Jerez, we were quite fast. We ne🧔ed to try not to get very upset by this🏅 result and move on.”

Front tyre 🐼selection further complicated matters for Vinale🐓s.

“It was🌺 very hard to manage. I never liked this [medium] also with the Aprilia. But today it was the safest choice because of graining with♏ the soft.

“Now, looking at the ones who chose the soft, it looks like it was the correct decision. But on paper, the medium was the correct one, so🌟 nothing to regret.”

Adding to the challenges was Silverstone's no✱toriously strong winds.

“I got many tra🐻ck limits [warnings] because I couldn't keep the bike on the track! The wind was huge,” he admitted.

With Aragon next on the calendar, Vinales emphasised the need for consistency and patienc༒e.

“We must be very clever otherw💞ise, if we make a mistake [by changing the bike too much], that's a disaster.

“We need to build up step by step,” he concluded.

Pedro Acosta wꦦas the top KTM rider in sixth place, 7.1s from Aprilia race winner Marco Bezzecchi and 4.2s ahead of Vinales.
