TECH3 KTM Rider Maverick Vinales says he is still “a passenger” on his Motogp bike because he continues to recover from the shoulder were hurt In July in German Grand Prix.
Vinales fully followed the Czech GP, then tried to return to action after a summer break in the Austrian GP. But Racing proved unrealistic in Spielberg After his practice, and he dropped the Hungarian GP a week later.
Spaniard finally ran again in Barcelona over the last weekend, with limited success, Grand Prix finished 13th.
Mouso has seen a minor single-lap improvement at the end of this week, as he is in 16th position. But after finishing a minor 15th position in Sprint, he reminded the press of his ongoing boundaries.
“It is difficult to accept that I am a passenger more than riding a bike, but this is what it is,” he said.
“We need to accept that in some areas we are capable of being competitive, but in some other people, at this time, we are struggling more.
“Sector 3 (always) has been one of my fastest areas in the Vryano, and this year I am not able to catch on the bike, I am not able to ride fast. I (leave at least two or three tenth part in each lap), and at the end of the race, it is a lot.”

The 30-year underlined that although the pain is a factor-which varies during the day-this is not the main issue when it comes to performance.
“My problem is that I have no strength. You can take a pain reliever, but it is not (like) you take pain relievers and the strength is multiplied by 1000.
“I think it is more about power than pain. This is what I feel.”
Vinales knows that muscle construction will be important for both aspects of performance and pain.
“I know when the muscle comes, then the pain is going to be removed. Now I have couples, with ligaments, everything, because I have no muscles.
“The moment I have muscles, then all this pain is going to disappear from one day to the other day.”
Vinale’s injury gave him an opportunity to take advantage of the recent improvement in KTM Fortunes, which was concluding his team partner Enea Bastianini taking a podium finish in Barcelona.
