MotoGP: ‘I would not go back’ - Maverick Vinales rules out returning to Yamaha

After splitting from Yamaha after his relationship with the Japanese manufacturer turned🌸 sour midway thr🐼ough the 2021 MotoGP season, Vinales is convinced that his future lies with Aprilia.
Feeling like he wasn’t always backed and listened to by Yamaha, 🦋Vinales’ time with Aprilia has certainly felt like a different story for the Spaniard.

Despite results not quite being at the level that was expected, Vinales was given a two-year deal by Aprilia until the end of 2024 before the ex-Suzuki rider, who is a nine-time MotoGP race winner, started to show the same type of potential that left many thinking he could be the main threat to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez in previous years.
Vinales is still yet to win with Aprilia, and although the final few races of 2022 proved to be tough for both he and team-mate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aleix Espargaro, the former Moto3 world champion i🍎s expected to✤ be a contender for wins this season.
Should Vinales rediscover his winning touch in 2023 then challenging for the title could become a realistic possibility, which he claims is the ‘clear’ goal set ou𒈔♔t by Aprilia.
"The most important thing is𝔍 that we are both fighting to make Aprilia world champion, we are ver☂y clear about this," said Vinales when speaking to Corsedimoto. "We must continue like this, because I think the team has great harmony."
Harmony was the complete opposite of his relationship with Yamaha and 2021 world champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo during his final season at Yamaha.
Once Vinales left and was replaced by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Franco Morbidelli, Quartararo lacked any type of support when it came to fighting t🌟he likes of Ducati for victories.
However, Vinales, who is well aware of the struggles Yamaha have endured in recent seasons when it comes to top speed, was🧸 quick to dismiss returning to Yamaha at an𝓡y stage.
"I don't know what Quartararo said, because I haven't tried th𒀰e bike for years," added Vinales. "R🌱egarding returning to Yamaha, I would not go back.
"I'm not saying this for them, with whom I had an excellent relationship. Bu✱t I decided to 💝change the music."
