Valencia, Spain – Maverick Viñales showed his prowess on the race track by securing pole position in the Valencia MotoGP race as an Aprilia rider. This marks his first pole since Assen 2021, and he achieved it with a remarkable new lap record at the Ricardo Tormo Circuit.
Although Viñales celebrated his achievement, he was not entirely satisfied with his race performance. Opting for a medium rear tyre proved to be a regrettable decision as it caused him to drop to fourth place after briefly leading during the intense 13-lap race.
The challenges for Viñales did not end there. In the 10-minute warm-up session on Sunday morning, his RS-GP encountered an issue that led to him being shown the black-and-orange flag. Despite this setback, Viñales remained focused on overcoming the obstacles that stood in his way.
As the Valencia MotoGP race drew to a close, Viñales displayed his unwavering determination by giving it his all. His skill and dedication continue to impress both fans and fellow riders alike.
The upcoming races will undoubtedly be exciting to watch as Viñales seeks to build on his pole position achievement and further showcase his abilities on the race track.
