Note Vinales is very different from his teammate, Valentino Rossi, who must be satisfied with the 17th position. Rossi clocked the fastest time in 39.364 seconds.
After the test, Rossi admitted that Vinales and other Yamaha engines like Franco Morbidelli were quite fast. But it's still not enough to fight in the lead with rivals Honda and Ducati.
Rossi estimated that the speed of the 2019 engine is relatively similar to this year's. In addition, the energy distribution between the rear tires is not optimal, resulting in greater erosion than that of competition. This is what makes Yamaha slow down faster after a few laps.
But Vinales claimed to be able to drive with the same tire. The 23-year-old also believes that the record time can still be improved compared to other sectors, including electronic DIY.
"Today, our work is centered on machines, the same tests as those in Valencia, trying to understand how things are going, these tracks are even more difficult for us than Valencia, Valencia is easier," said Vinales. cited Crash.
"We look consistent, with a lot of laps on the tires we use and I'm pretty happy – it's good, good – we use the tires for almost 30 laps, so the situation is good. because I can still record good times until the end of the tire's life. "
"It seems that we can still develop a lot from the electronics, with the basis of the settings.Now, the engine works a little differently so that the engine can enter the corners faster. Motorcycle style: Before, I had to stop the bike, put it back in place, and start again. "I can drive more naturally and maybe I could still improve the bike," he added.
