Maverick Vinales say🍃s KTM must keep “an open mind” coming to the MotoGP Spanish Grand Prix following his ♍surprise ride to the podium in Qatar.

The start to the 2025 season has been well below expectations for KTM, with none of its riders getting close to a podium in the first thre𓄧e rounds.

Then at the Qatar GP, Tech3’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Maverick Vinales stunned when he fought for an 11th MotoGP victory before tak🎉ing the chequer🍨ed flag in second behind Ducati’s Marc Marquez.

A tyre pressure penalty dropped Vinales to 14th after the race, but KTM motorsport boss Pit Beirer 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:called his rider’s performanc💟e “re🌜al”.

For the Spanish GP this weekend, other KTM riders say they will look at Vinales’ set-up to try to find more form, while Pedro Acosta will have two 2✱024 🍷RC16s to ride at Jerez.

Vinales says🧜 KTM can’t have “any ideas that limit us” in what it can achieve in the coming races, but has also urged 🍒patience.

“Obviously we are happy with the result, but happier with the way we are working, with the way we are learning, and especially the understanding we are having with the bike,” he told MotoGP’s Gea꧃r Up show on Thursday at Jerez.

“Obviously it’s a great way to p🍒ut fire inside the factory to really keep working, keep developing, and this is very important for us to keep the motivation.

“We will try, of course [to replicate Qatar].

“In Aꦆustin I think it was also a weekend to be close to the podium, if not figꦏhting for it, and in Qatar we were fighting for the victory.

“We don’t want to put any ceiling or any ideas that✅ can limit us.

“We need to really have an open mind andꦺ anܫ open mentality to keep improving.

“And we need to keep developing ourselves, bﷺecause it’s been just four races with 𝄹KTM.

“So, it’s quite new and it’s a completely different bike, completely different system and different personalities inside th﷽e team.

“So, we must all fit together but I think we are in a good d🦋irection and all the pieces𝔉 are matching into place.”

Vinales has had time to rewatch the Qatar race, but still hasn’t let the penalty get in the way ofꦉ what he feels are more important takeaways from the grand prix.

“It was nice to see again the speed, to see again that I can bat🦂tle with the big names and especially we see some🏅 lights in KTM and this is very important,” he added.

“And we must concentrate on the correct things, as we are doiꦯng.”
