Overview
The 2026 MotoGP season finds Maverick Viñales in Red Bull KTM Tech3 colours, his bike carrying the 12. The Spanish rider, a grand prix winner at the top level, has been racing in the Grand Prix paddock since his teens.
Ten MotoGP wins have arrived during a career that has taken in Suzuki, Yamaha Factory Racing, Aprilia Racing and, now, Red Bull KTM Tech3. The Yamaha Factory Racing years formed his longest single-team stretch, with Gresini Racing and Aprilia Racing the stops that followed.
Qualifying is the part of a weekend where his speed tends to show, with front-row starts a regular feature. Over a full race distance the question is whether a strong grid slot turns into another podium.
