MotoGP 2019: 5 Talking Points after Aragon GP

#5 Yamaha needs Top Speed, a lot of it

Vinales was a sitting duck on the straights at Aragon

Despite starting on the front row, both the Yamaha riders were always going to be sitting ducks on the straights of Aragon and in the race that surely was the case.

The Yamaha bike's weakness was exposed so badly at Aragon that it almost left the riders deflated at the end of the race.

Vinales, who had visibly put his all into the race just couldn't do anything about the straight-line deficit and was repeatedly passed throughout the race by the Ducatis.

Yamaha has made strides recently but still if there ever was a reality check that they needed then Aragon was a stern reminder of the amount of work that they need to do to get on compared to the rest when it comes to the straight-line speed.
