'I really believe that time will give the reason as to why I left.' Maverick Vinales believes he is being vindicated for his decision to quit the Yamaha MotoGP team in 2021.
"I really believe that time will give the reason as to why I left," Vinales said on Thursday ahead of this weekend's Dutch GP."But in any case, I was riding behind [Yamaha in Germany] and they were struggling.
"Maybe they will arrive here [at Assen] and they are in front, I don't know. But in the Sachsenring, they struggled a lot."Vinales sits 10th in the standings, four points behind Quartararo, having scored Aprilia's only podium of the season so far in Portugal when he was second. The Aprilia rider's Germany weekend was curtailed by a double DNF, with his Sunday race retirement due to an engine failure.
Vinales says this was"lucky" as it revealed performance issues he had been battling since the Italian GP which left both himself and Aprilia stumped. "Well, I think in Sachsenring we've been very lucky in a certain way because we broke the engine," he added.
