Tech3 KTM’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Maverick Vinales urged his team to “forget” Silverstone after enduring a difficult British MotoGP weekend that saw🥂 him qualify a lowly 18th and finish both races outside thꦕe top ten.

In podium contention during the 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] we have⛦,” Vina🐎les said.

“But I had a🐠 technical issue 🥂on Friday, then I was in Q1, and if you start 18th, it’s hard.

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

“I fought with Ene༒a, with Raul, with Brad... So much that I lost 6-7 seconds in five laps. And that's where you lose the race.”

Although disappointed, Vinales focused on▨ his strong performance at other circuits.

“I think this track is very particular, very unique an♎d edge grip is not our strength,” he explained.

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

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

Front tyre selection further complicated ma💯tters for Vinal😼es.

“It was very hard to manage. I never liked this [medium] also with t🌠he 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 lik꧟e it was the correct decision. But on 🍷paper, the medium was the correct one, so nothing to regret.”

Adding to the challenges was Si✅lverstone's notoriously strong winds.

“I got many track limits [warnings] because I couldn't keep the bike on the track! The wind was huge,” he a🎃dmitted.

With Aragon next on the calendar, Vinales emphasised the need for cons🐈istency and patience.

“We must be v🦩ery clever otherwise, 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 was the top KTM rider in sixth pl🅘ace, 7.1s from Aprilia race winner Marco Bezzecchi and 4.2s ahead of Vinales.
