25 MAVERICK VINALES 2ND MOTOGP
"It was difficult, but I think we managed the race really well, especially with
the electronics, we were really strong in all the areas," said Maverick Vina-
les. "I think we did a good job. This weekend we came back, feeling strong
again and that's the positive point, especially during the last part of the race,
during which we weren't really strong before. This time we were the fastest
on the last laps. I knew that on the last laps my bike was really good, so I
was just trying to keep the pace and the concentration and save the tires
until the end. For sure, I was able to do really good laps in the beginning,
but then the tire would have dropped a lot, so I was thinking about doing
the other step: go slowly in the beginning and push at the end and this was
the result. I was catching Dovi on the last lap and trying my best. I set one of my best laps on the last one, so I gave it
everything to catch him, but honestly, today, second place was the best we could do."
