Although the result remained the same as Valencia and Sepang with Ducati fastest on da🌄y-one in Portimao, Vinales once again reminded us why he could be a force throughout the 2023 MotoGP season. 

Two tenths off top spot come the end of play, Vinales was particularly strong over race distance, while a strong showing in qualifying trim allowed him to finish third overall behind 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Luca Marini.

• Espargaro🌠 stops early after arm pump problems - ‘I cou🦩ldn’t even brake’

That came after suffering a big crash at turn 15, one in which Viꦡnales knew he went beyond the limit. &nbs🅠p;

Vinales told : "I had a big crash in turn 15, but it was nothing. I was reꦓally on the limit and I trie🥃d to go over the limit at that point. I didn’t finish the corner, let’s say it like this. 

"Overall the day has been really good and has been in a positive way. I have the same feeling as Sepang༒ and it’s a very different track but we are still very fast and competitiveও."

Like teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Aleix Espargaro, Vinales had a bra🍃nd new aero package to test which had both positives and negatives, 🧔according to the former Yamaha rider. 

However, a final de🅺cision on what direction he will go in will only be made following a technical meeting with the team.

Asked if he could explain the exact differences the new aero had compared to the previous package, Vinales added: "What I can tell you is that there ♛are positive and negative points. We put all the aero package [on the bike]. 

"We tried dif𓂃ferent ite🔴ms, different configurations, but at the end we need to try it a little bit more. 

"It was important to more-or-less understand the parts we need for🌸 the race because we need to h💦omologate the parts. I want to see in the technical meeting what was better." 

Vinales aiming to put MotoGP rivals ‘on the limit’

Over a short stretch i𝐆n 2022 Vinales was one of the quickest riders on the grid and came close to securing a first win with Aprilia.

That ultimately did not ma♉terialise, however, the Spaniard looks much better positioned to make that a reality in 2023.

Race pace in both the traditional GP setting and the new Sprint format looks to be particularly strong with just two weeks to go before race one, although Vinales feels he can train even harder in order to put his ri♚vals under more pressu♏re.

"I feel very strong, esp𝕴ecially for the race," said Vinales✤. "For the Sprint race, the good thing is you can make all the laps on a time attack mode. 

"If you are strong then you are really good. Today I did one Sprint race [simulation] and I could really control the lap✃ times and the bike is working well overall. I will train harder toﷺ put everyone on the limit."
