Could we have been wrong about Maverick Vinales all this time? The man known for lagging behind in MotoGP races surprised everyone by winning from 11th place in Austin with an exceptional performance in a truly unforgettable race.
Valentin Khorounzhiy, a consistent supporter of Vinales, and Simon Patterson and Matt Beer, who have doubts about his abilities, now have a lot to discuss. They will delve into topics such as Marc Marquez’s season after his fall from the lead, leaving him in a distant eighth place in the championship. They will also analyze Pedro Acosta’s exceptional performance and its implications not only for the other KTMs, but for everyone else on the grid. Additionally, they will examine Jorge Martin’s chances of winning the title and Pecco Bagnaia’s unusually poor form.
Furthermore, this race in Austin raises the question: is modern MotoGP much better than critics of its aerodynamics and other detractors suggest?
