During the last weekend of the season in Barcelona, actions will be put in place to help the Valencian Community. Among them are auctions that feature historic pieces, such as Maverick Vinales' world champion motorcycle. A necessary gesture for the Spaniard who wanted to help those affected by the floods.
During the Barcelona Grand Prix, otherwise known as the Solidarity Grand Prix, in response to the various actions put in place to help Valencia, Maverick Vinales will part with a dear possession.
The Calvo team's machine, adorned with the number 25, which allowed the Aprilia rider to win the Moto3 race during the 2013 season, near Valencia will be handed over to the highest bidder. As a reminder, this coronation won by Maverick Viñales in Spain was won at the end of an intense fight with another current MotoGP rider, Alex Rins.
At the end of the season, the machine was entrusted to him as a souvenir of this unforgettable season for the main person concerned. Ten years later, the latter will satisfy the satisfaction of a fan who will put his hand in his wallet for a good cause.
“This is humanity. If we don't help each other, who will help us? Honestly, for several years I have been trying to stop giving on a material level, but more on a sentimental level, confides Maverick Vinales upon arriving in Barcelona. Obviously I have a special relationship with this bike. I won my title with it. It's always special. But I think now, these people need help.
I have friends who went to Valencia, to try to help people, and all that. They told me it was really horrible, he continues. Maybe in the media we don't really realize it, because they don't show it enough. But those who have spent twenty-four hours there know that things are really, really bad. »
The career of Maverick Vinales not being over, the one who will begin a new adventure with KTM next year is already dreaming of acquiring a new motorcycle following a possible triumph.
“So if any fan can help, and pay a good price for this bike for the people of Valencia, then I will be happy. It will come back to me one way or another. Maybe next year I will get a KTM, and a MotoGP. »
