The crisis that has plagued Yamaha has paused in Buriram, with the return to the good results. But by then the atmosphere in the garage was far from being recommended. Maverick Viñales spoke of the theme without taboos to SKY TV Italia.

‘We have to be patient and expect Yamaha to be competitive again. My contract lasts for another two years and I have to be confident and not lose hope. I know Yamaha can get better. Neither Lin [Jarvis] nor Meregalli could handle this situation in the best way. From the part that touches me, I felt a little forgotten and abandoned. I’d rather they have given me more support in a few moments. It’s important that we function as a team and I missed that. It is important to have support when things don’t go well’, the spanish rider told, who in Thailand managed to return to the podium with the blue bike.

The Japan GP at Motegi is followed by the Spanish GP, where the spaniard will doubt whether performance in Buriram is a result of obvious improvements or if the crisis is to last.
