Maverick Vinales dealt warning about KTM’s “patience”
"Aprilia was over-the-top ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚpatient, like nobody else would be"

Maverick Vinales has been warned that♍ KTM𓂃 might not be as patient as his current employers Aprilia.
Vinales will swap his faꦏctory Aprilia seat for the new-look Teꦯch3 team next season, alongside Enea Bastianini.
It will give Vinales the chance to further extend his unique record, after becoming the first rider 𝔍to win a MotoGP race for four manufacturers this year.
But, his change of environment could bring additional pressure, he 𒐪has been told.
"Aprilia did an incredible job - and showed more patie𒐪nce than any other manufacturer - in nursing Maverick along, and getting the most 🌠out of him. And they got rewarded," broadcaster Simon Crafar said.
"I don’t know if another manufacturer can do it as well as ꧑Apr🐻ilia.
"Aprilia was over-t😼he-top patient, like nobody els🌠e would be. And KTM can be hard.
"The big differ🥀ence is that you can’t speak badly about the mach🅰ine or you’ll get in trouble. You could get away with that at Aprilia.
"ꦆIt will be interesting to see how their r😼elationship plays out.
"I hope 🌞Maverick can w𒊎in with a fourth manufacturer."
Vinales will partner with current factory ride💃r Bastianini, riding factory-spec KTMs in 2025.
"Enea, you get him comfy, he’s a tough lad who w❀ants to make it happen,𝔉" Crafar said.
"Get him comfy on the bike and he doe🌞s the results regularly. From the outside, my gut feeling is that he will work well and survive in there."
KTM have previously used their satellite team to bring through Moto2 champi𒈔ons, such as their current line-up Pedro Acosta and Augusto Fernandez.
The switch to a duo of experienced ridꦜers from factory teams, in V🦩inales and Bastianini, represents a sharp change in philosophy.
Crafar commented: "൩KTM have used that team to ꦚbring Moto2 world champions up.
"They’ve brought💖 three very good champions up but𝓀 it hasn’t worked.
"There aren’t many riders to choose from in Moto2. And you’ve got the opportunity𝓡 to have race wiꦍnners…
"There’s a very good chance you will win a MotoGP ra💮ce next s🐷eason with Maverick and Enea.
"When Enea is comfortable, he’s fast regula♊rly. With Maverick you know that you’ll get some fantastic ones, and some not-so-fantastic ones.
"I really understand that would be attra♌ctive to KTM."
