The divorce of Maverick Vinales and Yamaha triggered a real domino effect, which also included his father’s team, who are known to drive the R3 in the SuperSport300. After the race in Most Papa Angel’s team announced their collaboration with Yamaha would not continue and that they would look for a new designer to end the season.
This month, Maverick’s father started looking for an alternative but unfortunately couldn’t find any solutions. Instead of staying at home, he decided to get back on track with the Yamaha R3 he bought at the beginning of the season. So Dean Berta Vinales, Maverick’s cousin, was on the Magny-Cours track with his new teammate.
In fact, the Spaniard Yeray Saiz Marquez was there instead of Kevin Sabatucci. Apparently, the team didn’t want to move on with the Italian who had found a motorcycle from the GP Project’s Kawasaki anyway.
