As we know from the previous article, Massimo Rivola as the voice representative of Aprilia Racing generally still wants Maverick Vinales to continue racing with them after the contract expires at the end of this year. Rivola even had time to ‘accompany’ Maverick with the Aprilia Racing captain’s armband from Aleix Espargaro, who may become an HRC test rider next year. However, it turns out that Maverick Vinales doesn’t want to be Captain of Aprilia Racing.
“I don’t want to be captain,” said Vinales after the rain-washed Mugello test. . But does this mean Vinales also refuses to extend his contract with Aprilia? Maverick’s Next answer Doesn’t go that way though “ Aleix leaves a big void at Aprilia. He rode Aprilia for a very long time. It’s not easy to take on this role. He carries a huge burden on his shoulders.”
“ I can’t say anything concrete about my future yet. I don’t know if I will stay with Aprilia.” Monday night, after the announcement of Martin’s arrival, Maverick Vinales forgot to notify Aprilia about this. Massimo Rivola, Aprilia race director, did not have time to inform him because of the speed of the process of signing the agreement, but he apologized for it. For now, Maverick Vinales’ future is still uncertain. Could it be that ahead of Assen we can confirm his future?
