23 at Suzuki, 1 at Yamah𝄹a, and then 16 at Aprilia.

That’s the number of MotoGP races it took 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Maverick Vinales to stand on th🅠e podium with each of his previous manufacturers.

The only rider in the MotoGP era to win on three different brands of ♑bike kicks off his quest for KTM success with an RC16 ra🍸ce debut in this weekend’s Buriram season opener.

“I’ll try to [adapt] faster ✃than in Aprilia to be honest, it took a lot of time to learn the bike!” Vinales smiled.

“I’ve alwayꩵs felt since the first l﷽aps that the [KTM] is suitable for my riding style.

“The bike 𓄧has good potential so we will try to understand and find the maximum ♏from it.”

Maverick Vinales at KTM: “Trust the process”

Winter testing yielded 12th, 16th an♔d 9th places on tꦡhe timesheets at the end of the respective Barcelona, Sepang and Buriram outings.

“We had a good pre-season, but it will take time to fully 🥂understand how to exp🐽loit the KTM,” Vinales said.

“We made some important steps i💮n the initial phase, but for sure the learning will continue while racing, and we have to accept it, trust the process.

“Starting the season in Thailand w🥃ill be nice, different, and I love the passion Thai fans📖 always bring to the track.

“It provides extra motivation to race in front of them, so I think it will be a great opꦆening round.”

Another novelty for Vinales is𓂃 that, after ten years at factory MotoGP teams, Thailand will be his first grand prix weekend as a satellite rider.

“[Last] year🥀 the championship was won by a satellite team,” he shrugged, referring to Jorge Martin’s title victory for Pramac Ducati.

“In the previous years, in another era, maybe [being in a factory team was more important], but now the bikes are 🍃the same.

“My feeling with the team is goꦿod and the support is there from the factory also.”

Tech3 predecessor Pedro Acosta scored the most podiums of any KTM rider last year and came within two points of beating factory tea🍒m leader Brad Binder🐻 for fifth in the world championship.

The Austrian manufacturer insists there will again be no factory/satellite divide in 2025, when Acosta will partner Binder and fellow MotoGP race win💫ner Enea Bastianini completes Tech3’s line-up alongside Vinales.

“The ambience is good,” sa🐷id Vinales. “We [the four KTM r🌠iders] all work - and this is the feeling I have - for one mission. This is very important.”

Free practice for the Thai Gran🐽d Prix, where Vinales qualified tenth last October, then finished seventh in the wet race, starts on Friday morning.
