Happy Birthday Maverick Viñales 🎉

🏁Maverick Viñales made his mark in Moto3™ with a 2010 CEV title, the European 125 Championship in 2011, and a strong rookie season in Moto2™ in 2014 before making his MotoGP™ debut with Team Suzuki Ecstar, securing his first win in 2016.

🏆Moving to Yamaha in 2017, Viñales had a successful start with multiple wins but struggled in later seasons, finishing 3rd in 2017 and 6th in 2020 after inconsistent form. In 2021, he was dropped by Yamaha and joined Aprilia, where he showed improved results in 2022 with podium finishes.

🏍️In 2023, Viñales had a consistent season with Aprilia, earning three second-place finishes, and finally secured his first victory with the manufacturer in 2024 at the Americas GP. He now embarks on a new chapter with Red Bull KTM Tech3 in 2025.

Let us know in the comments how you think Maverick Viñales will perform with Red Bull KTM Tech3 in 2025! ✨
