Maverick Vinales reveals what he has already learned from his work with Jorge Lorenzo
Tech3 MotoGP rider Maverick Vinales is “realising” that his level as a rider is not as high as he previously thought, especially after working with Jorge Lorenzo, his rider coach for the 2026 season.
Having announced their partnership late last year, the three-time MotoGP champion Lorenzo has been pushing Vinales hard in all aspects of his off-season training.
In a new YouTube series, Vinales expressed his surprise at Lorenzo’s level of obsession and discipline in achieving goals and acknowledged he still has room for improvement.
Lorenzo’s praise for Vinales’ adaptability and quick understanding of bikes has been a key focus of their work together, aiming to improve every aspect of Vinales’ performance on and off the track.
KTM, for whom Vinales is the leading rider, will kick off its 2026 season officially on Tuesday, January 27, showcasing the livery for the four bikes that will be raced this year.
