The 171st episode of #atuttogas, online on Moto.it and on the main podcast platforms starting at 9 am on Sunday 14 July, features Rolfo as a guest, who at 44 years old has the opportunity to participate in the endurance race on one of the most beautiful and fascinating circuits in the world

The podcast, as always, starts with the rider’s statistics: is Maverick Vinales satisfied with his numbers?
“No, you never are: you can be satisfied with what you have done, but you always want a little more. The MotoGP title is missing,” he says.
Vinales analyses the riding differences between 2T and 4T.
“You couldn’t be so extreme and over time the riding has become less technical than when I started in MotoGP: aerodynamics have taken a lot of work away from the rider. Now the bike counts a lot”.
We talk about the victory in Austin (“One of my best ever, definitely my most exciting in MotoGP”); about Ducati (“They are dominating, we have to find the level we were at in Portimao and Austin”); about the experience in Aprilia (“It was a demanding period, the bike is tough, you always have to push to the limit”); about the differences between the 4 in-line and 4V engines (“It changes a lot, you have to reprogram yourself mentally”); about the discovery of the “potholes” in Misano (“I didn’t know they were there…”).
I always thought that Aprilia was the ideal environment for Maverick, but evidently something happened. What? What didn’t work? Why KTM? Vinales tells it all in the 172nd episode of #atuttogas, online on Moto.it and on audio platforms starting at 9:00 on Sunday 21 July.
See you next week for a new episode of #atuttogas.
