JAKARTA - Aprilia Racing racer, Maverick Vinales, doesn't want to be too complacent with the results his team has achieved today. He said, there is still time for Aprilia to perform even better.

Aprilia have just picked their first victory in the MotoGP era. The victory was presented by Aleix Espargaro in MotoGP Argentina, last weekend.

With this result, Aprilia is in third place in the team standings with 58 points. They are 11 points adrift of Suzuki Ecstar who occupies the top position.

"We know this championship is still long. We do not need to rush. We have time to study and work," said Vinales, as quoted by Crash.

However, Vinales could not be that patient with himself. He gave a time limit until the race at the Jerez Circuit to bring out the best in him.

"Still I need to gain confidence with the bike. I gave myself a time limit until Jerez to reach the maximum with the bike and the team," he said.

However, Vinales looks at the American MotoGP race, April 8-10, with optimism. He said the Austin Circuit is one of his favorite tracks.

In addition, the good results from the Argentine MotoGP last weekend were also important capital. He said Aprilia will perform with the same mentality.

"I like Austin, one of my favorite tracks. I am always super fast at this track. But we will maintain the same mentality," said Vinales.
