I think Vinales' biggest mistake was airing his grievances publicly in the manner he did. Gave so much insight to his thought process or lack of one. No one else on the grid beat him, he beat himself in the end.Other riders make criticisms as well, but tend to be a little more polite in what they say for the most part. I understand it because sometimes you've got to light a fire under the ass of factories at times. But Vinales had way too much of an edge to his public comments IMO. After the announced split at the end of the season he should have just kept his mouth shut. You run the races you have left and then either .... off to another team or to another series entirely. All that being said, I think this is the pressure valve blowing off after having been building steadily since 2017. When he stopped winning then, he started getting more and more frazzled by the bike or the tires or both or even Rossi for that matter. Now that Rossi is gone, he's being clubbed over the head by Fabio, so that probably didn't help matters further and his confidence is completely shot.
