“Riders with less talent” than one “intimidating” MotoGP star have fought for titles
Three-time MotoGP world champion Jorge Lorenzo has joined forces with Maverick Vinales to become his rider coach, believing that riders with less talent than Vinales have fought for titles in the premier class, so there is no reason he can’t do the same.
Vinales, who made his MotoGP debut in 2015 after just one year in Moto2, has been touted as world champion material since the beginning of his career.
Despite having stints with Suzuki, Yamaha, Aprilia, and currently racing for KTM with Tech3, Vinales has only secured 10 victories so far in MotoGP.
Lorenzo acknowledges Vinales’ talent, stating that he was one of the strongest rivals he had, especially during Vinales’ time with Yamaha.
The partnership between Lorenzo and Vinales aims to bring more success to Vinales, with Lorenzo emphasizing that Vinales has the potential to fight for world championships like other riders with less talent but successful careers in MotoGP.
