Ahead of the German MotoGP, Vinales Wonder M1 Still Difficult on Wet Tracks

While the two riders Yamaha, Valentino Rossi and Vinales, just scattered. The Doctor will start from the ninth position, while his partner in position 11.

In FP3, Vinales can actually look impressive with the second rank under Marquez. However, at that time, the track conditions are dry aka not yet raining.

Vinales explained his difficulties in qualifying. He considered there are some things that make the bike difficult on wet tracks.

"On the wet track, we have difficulty playing, I do not know why I do a few rounds behind Dani, our bike is very strong on the front, braking and going into the corner I feel strong," Vinales opened as reported by Crash.

"But suddenly when we tried to pull gas, we lost a lot of speed, there was no boost in our bike, especially on our 0 to 100 bikes, so very strange, because in dry conditions it is the opposite."

"I've said this in Assen and also in Argentina.This is a problem we have now.We have to get it done.Electronic devices do not work well on motors so we have to fix it," he continued.

Furthermore, the new chassis he has and also Rossi did not give any effect. He mentions that the problem is more directed to electronic devices.

"The problem we have, I think, is more to the electronic devices.The performance is less appropriate, especially when it wants to draw gas because in other parts the motor looks good, the speed at the corners, cornering, on our wet tracks is good, but when pulling gas, Electronics are not the best, "he added.

Vinales also hoped that the race that took place on Sunday (2/7/2017) can take place dry.

"Even so, in the dry conditions, I feel very good.I think we have a very good bike.I did have to improve the ability in the second sector of the track, but that's my own problem, how to racing my line.So I'm curious for later. It goes dry, we have good potential, "he concluded.
