Why is Vinales leaving Yamaha?

The question posed by this article, is one which I have no clear answer for, nor do most people in MotoGP have the answer to it seems! So, instead I will discuss possible reasons, and where his future may lie!

Vinales came to MotoGP as a bright young star, with a lot of momentum behind him, after winning the Moto3 title in 2013, and riding superbly in his rookie year in Moto2. His first two years in the top class, saw him excel on a Suzuki which was not ready to battle at the front. Yet, he was able to score good points, and in his second year, achieve his first win at Silverstone, as well as three other podiums! When he then signed for the factory Yamaha squad, it looked as though he would be their flagship rider for the years to come!

To begin with the signs were good, with him taking wins and podiums in his first few years, unable to beat the might of Marquez, but holding his own against Rossi very well. At that point, the expectation was that the bike was holding him back, and when the equipment matched that of Ducati and Honda, combined with his growing experience, he could bring titles to the team!

This brings us to 2020, where Marquez is out through injury, and the Ducati has fallen back in the pack, so the door is wide open for Maverick. There was a new young pretender at Yamaha, who had done brilliant things in 2019, although as Vinales had a stronger year, he was still top dog. However, as the year unfolded, major weaknesses in Vinales’ game became clear, mainly in wheel-to-wheel combat. Confidence was also a major issue, and whenever rain came, or there was uncertainty, he dropped like a stone! This all meant, that combined with the problems that Quartararo had, Yamaha completely missed an open goal in 2020, as the more confident, better racer of Mir, stole the title from them!

So, here we are in 2021, a new year, and a new Fabio, who has cleaned up his act, and is on top form! Yet, we still see the same Vinales, lacking confidence, needing to stick to a plan, rather than go on instinct. All this means, is that in the unpredictable world on MotoGP, Quartararo is demolishing Vinales in every way! Then comes the announcement, that he will be leaving the team at the end of the year, which makes no sense to most people!

The main theory behind it, and one that has been suggested by Maverick himself, is that the team had shifted focus to Fabio, and has no faith in him. This may be true, and given the relative performances, you wouldn’t blame them, so he has no reason to start kicking and screaming about it! He said that the change of Crew Chief was disrespectful, yet it is completely justified if one rider is much slower than the other.

In that situation, the problem is either in the engineering set up of the bike, or the rider himself, so by arguing it wasn’t the Crew Chief, he is effectively saying ‘I am the problem’. If that is the reason he gives to leave, saying the team didn’t support him, it really means that he didn’t like being beaten by a better rider! I know it is harsh, and I want Maverick to do well, but looking at the pace of them both, it is the truth!

Another reason could be his comfort level on the bike, as results like at the Sachsenring, suggest he isn’t at one with it. This would be surprising, as the smooth Yamaha should be the perfect bike for his style of riding, but the issues could be deeper than that, and we may never know the full details. If this is the case, where could he find a better fit?

Ducati, Honda, and KTM, all seem to have bikes you need to grab by the scruff of the neck, at least more than the Yamaha, so those wouldn’t be viable for him. Which leaves Aprilia and Suzuki! Most of the speculation is for him to replace Savadori next year at Aprilia. This may not be a bad move, as the bike is improving all the time, and could be able to fight at the front soon, plus he should be able to outperform Aleix, although I doubt it would be easy.

Don’t count out a move to Suzuki though! We all know the plight of Rins this year, and that bike is the smoothest on the grid, he knows the team well too which could help! My only reservation, is that with Mir on the other side of the garage, he could find himself in a similar situation if he went there, as Mir can be quite aggressive!

Even considering all these options, I do not understand why he would leave what is clearly the strongest team on the grid this year. Yes, he may not be able to beat Fabio, but doing anything else could be a big risk, and may ruin his career if he is not careful. The main thing though, is that he is happy in his choice, as the barrage of social media chatter on him during the past year or so, must have been tough. If he can find the right home for himself, it could be the rebirth of the star we witnessed five or so years ago!

ROUND 8 OF RATING THE RIDERS: 2019 DUTCH GP

MV12 - 9: There’s no denying Maverick’s talent but we’ve kind of been waiting for a while for that! Good on him to prove us wrong but this result as fantastic as it is will have to be repeated in the next few rounds for Yamaha to be kind of out of their crisis.

VR46 - 3: You know, even for non Rossi fanatics, seeing this legend struggling so much just HURTS. We’re sure he still has it in him but maybe that just bot worth waiting for it anymore... 🤷🏻‍♀️

AR42- 6: That early crash was so unfortunate Alex! Clearly had my money on him. Clearly lost a bit of $$... 😩

MM93 - 8: Even on days where, from his own words, everything wasn’t ready for him to be able to win, he still gets 2nd. This, my dear friends, is why he is untouchable.

AD04 - 6: Years and seasons goes by and Dovizioso is still lacking that extra something World Champs have.

FQ20 - 8: Another impressive weekend for the rookie who’s giving us major Zarco throwbacks. Hopefully it will all end up better for him than his fellow frenchman.

DP9 - 6: Beware Danillo, do not close too much on Dovi or else you’ll be asked to drop a place... 👀

JL99 - DNS: Mother luck has totally left the Lorenzo boat. Hopefully she will make a comeback soon enough or at least before he breaks himself a few more vertebrae...

Bo Bendsneyder: ⛅️ FP1 | P22 | 1’38.247 🌧 FP2 | P24 | 1’51.429

Today was not an easy day. We had some problems with the electronics and I didn't feel good on the bike, not in FP1 and not in FP2.

I have complete trust in the team and their ability to solve the problems and that the rest of the weekend will be better! 🙌
