Maverick Vinales insists he is in a 'very 𒈔positive mood' heading into this weekend's Valencia MotoGP season finale.

After switching from Suzuki to Yamaha, Vinales dominated𒉰 pre-season testing and went on to win three of this year's opening five races.

But the victories suddenly dried up ওand Vinales lost the points lead with a fall at round eight (Assen), where team-m𒊎ate Valentino Rossi took what remains Yamaha's most recent MotoGP win.

Marc Marquez (Honda) and title riva❀l Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati) have won every race since, with Vinales now confirmed as finishing third in the world championship, whatever happens at Valencia.

"I arrive in Valencia in a very positive mood. After the 🤪last three races in Asia and Oceania I've spent some time at home, training and relaxing. The Ricardo Tormo Circuit is a track that I really like, it൲ has a layout that suits my riding style very well.

"We expect⭕ nice weather for the entire week, so I will try to push and give my 100% to finish the season with a nice podium at the last round. We are already focused on the next season and we also want to work hard during the test next wee👍k."

The Va🌼lencia test takes p🦩lace on Tuesday and Wednesday.
