Vinales won from pole at COTA, however, that tells very little to the story of how his race went.Vinales was pushed wide and down to 11th at turn one before completing a stunning comeback that saw him overtake Pedro Acosta for the lead on lap 13.
“Finally, I did it. I’m super happy to have never given up. But also to make everyone around me believe that I have enough talent and dedication to be fighting for this.” “I had it in the same way in the race but I was not bad and I was second or third but then I saw Pecco enter and push me wide, very wide because Jorge was also on the inside so that was a racing incident.
“It was crazy and I was enjoying every single lap. Some riders overtook me again but I braked late enough to make them go wide.”
