COMMENT : With no wins since the opening round of the 2021 season , Maverick Viñales has been in the wilderness . Sacked by Yamaha , then offered a racing lifeline by Aprilia , he finally seems to be finding his old form . Untouchable at COTA ( the U . S . round of MotoGP ), Viñales took pole position and won both the Sprint and the MotoGP races . He ’ s now only the fifth rider to win races for three different manufacturers ( following in the tyre tracks of Mike Hailwood , Randy Mamola , Eddie Lawson and Loris Capirossi ).
