Maverick Vinales travels to Austrian MotoGP but has a fitness question to answer
Tech3 MotoGP rider Maverick Vinales is set to make his racing comeback at the Austrian Grand Prix this weekend after being sidelined due to injury suffered during the German Grand Prix qualifying.
Vinales, with ten premier class grand prix victories, had dislocated his shoulder and sustained a fracture during the crash at the German Grand Prix earlier in July, forcing him to miss subsequent races.
Despite remaining under supervision by MotoGP doctors leading up to the Austrian Grand Prix, Vinales is determined to compete following intense rehabilitation efforts to regain his strength and fitness.
Expressing his eagerness to return to racing at KTM’s home event, Vinales acknowledges the challenge of assessing his competitiveness on track after a month-long absence from riding.
Grateful for the team’s support during his recovery, Vinales looks forward to rejoining his crew in Spielberg and aims to build on KTM’s recent success, with Pedro Acosta securing the marque’s first podium of the season in Brno.
As Vinales strives to improve his championship standing, currently in 11th place with 69 points after 12 rounds, his return to action adds anticipation to the Austrian Grand Prix spectacle, promising an exciting weekend of MotoGP action.
