Despite coming close on several occasions, Vinales has yet to convert his potential into a win with Aprilia. However, if he achieves victory in 2024, he could etch his name in history as the first rider to win with three different brands.

Remaining with the Blusens team for the transition to Moto3 in 2012, Vinales clinched five victories but fell short of the championship due to Sandro Cortese’s consistency.
In 2013, Vinales made a decisive move to Team Calvo and KTM, capturing the Moto3 title with three wins and consistent podium finishes.
Transitioning to Moto2 with Paginas Amarillas HP 40 Pons Racing in 2014, Vinales immediately impressed with a race win in only his second outing. Despite Tito Rabat’s dominance, Vinales secured third place in the championship as the top rookie.
