Jorge Lorenzo has spoken about the reputation Maverick Vinales had before MotoGP
Three-time MotoGP world champion Jorge Lorenzo is helping Maverick Vinales rediscover his “killer” mentality from earlier in his career. Vinales, in his 12th year in the premier class, is looking to elevate his performance. Despite his potential, Vinales has only 10 wins and hasn’t seriously contended for the championship. With Lorenzo as a performance coach, Vinales aims to reach a new level in 2026. Lorenzo, familiar with Vinales since childhood, sees a renewed motivation in him. Vinales’ goal is to give over 100% in the upcoming seasons to achieve his potential. His future at KTM looks promising, possibly taking over the factory role.
