A move to replace Jorge Lorenzo in Yamaha ’ s MotoGP™ ranks at the start of 2017 was supposed to mark the true arrival of Viñales . But since then there have only be occasional glimpses of the incredible talent which carried him to early success , claiming the 2013 Moto3™ World Championship , and triumphing in his second ever Moto2™ race in 2014 . His young reputation was further enhanced by securing the MotoGP™ Rookie of the Year title in 2015 in Suzuki ’ s return to the top class . He won eight races for Yamaha in four and a half seasons that featured as many lows as it did highs . His move to leave the Japanese manufacturer last year caused a sensation , as did his signing with Aprilia soon after . After one top ten for the Noale factory in five races , Viñales is seeking to return as a MotoGP™ contender in 2022 .
