The piercing sound of high-revving MotoGP motorcycles hurtling at more than 300kmh fell silent for the Qatar season opener on March 8 after its organiser decided to put a halt to racing.
"It was fantastic racing," said Vinales, a 25-year-old Spanish rider, who was runner-up in the second MotoGP Virtual Race held in Austria's Red Bull Ring on April 12.Vinales, a Moto 3 World Champion in 2013 who had also finished third in last year's MotoGP championship, will be on the"grid" on Sunday for the Spanish MotoGP Virtual Race.
While Vinales said he was optimistic racing would restart soon, the suspension of scheduled races had initially caught him by surprise. While disappointed with not being able to push his Yamaha YZR-M1 race bike to the limit on the circuit, the Andorra-based Vinales accepted the new reality and understood the importance of putting racing on hold.
"The little time go out of your home or stay in a park are very important things," said Vinales."Before I never appreciated them. I will say enjoy the little moments and value them."
