BRITISH MOTOGP AT SILVERSTONE: MAVERICK VINALES ‘NEVER’ DOUBTED APRILIA, FABIO QUARTARARO CONTACT ‘DIDN’T CHANGE MY RACE’ Although contact with Fabio Quartararo saw him drop from second to fifth in just one corner, Maverick Vinales claims it had no effect on his result after charging back through the field and narrowly missing out on a first MotoGP victory with Aprilia.
That’s exactly what happened as the Aprilia rider was in fantastic form throughout, which included being the fastest rider on circuit with a few laps to go.
That’s three races in a row that we are able to be on the podium and we need to fight for the races.”
