The Aprilia rider was fantastic during the sprint race at Si🌜lverstone as he came from eighth to claim just his second MotoGP podium of the season.

Vinales picked off the likes of Jorge Martin and Jack Miller in order to position himself on thꦑe podium, before eventually breaking clear of the riders behind♌.

Vinales was unable to close down the tw💙o leaders, but did show the type of speed that could make him a threa🌼t in today’s Grand Prix.

Speaking after his podium result, Vinales said: "It’s a boos♐t 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 buꦑt for one reason or another we were never able to complete t𒁏he objective. 

"But we kept working and we know that if we take ⭕out the maximum from our bike the💙n we can do good races. 

"I’m happy 🌌because always in these 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 without a race win for Aprilia, Vinales is bidding to beat Miller in the race to become the first-ever rider to win for three different꧂ manufacturers.

But while it could b🐼e a possibility at Silverstone, Vinales is not feeling🍸 any added pressure. 

"We꧒ don’t♛ need 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 th🌃is momentum which is really good. 

"Of course, we all have this objective in mind bu꧂t we 😼will try and enjoy the moment and understand where we are. We will try to make it happen."
