Maverick Vinales i🥃nsists he is in a 'very positive mood' heading into this weekend's Valencia MotoGP seaso🍰n finale.

After switchinꩲg from Suzuki to Yamaha, Vinales dominated pre-s꧃eason testing and went on to win three of this year's opening five races.

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

Marc Marquez (Honda) and title rival 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, it has a layout that suits my riding style very well.

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

The Valencia test takes💞 place on Tuesda♕y and Wednesday.
