For Moto3 rider Maverick Vinales (Blusens Avintia – FTR Honda) the season has been one of extremes. He has a class-leading four wins, but also a non-finish and a 17th last week on a drying track in Germany. By failing to score points, Vinales lost the world championship lead, which he hopes to begin the process of getting back starting in Italy. Vinales was a distant third in last year’s Italian 125cc GP, his first race at Mugello.

“We lost the championship lead in Germany, but Italy is the ninth round and the midway point of the season; there’s still a long way to go. We will still have the same number of races again after Italy before the season concludes, so it’s all up for grabs. I am as motivated as ever heading to Mugello and am convinced that we will be as consistent as we have up to now. I like the track and it is a beautiful and demanding layout, for which the engine is key. The KTMs are very fast, but we will try to cut the gap.”
