Maverick Vinales insists his injured shoulder is now “good”, but says he is missing strength at the Mugello MotoGP.
Maverick Vinales expressed that experiencing physical discomfort at the Mugello MotoGP was not unexpected for him, despite finishing in 15th place in the MotoGP Sprint behind Fabio Quartararo. He noted that his shoulder, which has been a challenge since July, is in decent condition but lacks strength, leading him to compensate with his other shoulder. Vinales acknowledged the inevitable struggle on the quick direction changes of the track and saw it as valuable training for him. He emphasized the need to enhance the bike’s performance rather than his physical state, pinpointing areas for improvement in braking and transitions. Vinales’ teammate Enea Bastianini had a crash during the Sprint due to what the Italian described as a subpar maneuver.
