Vinales finished 10th at the recent Austrian Grand Prix and prior to that, he came 14th at the Czech Republic Grand Prix.

The Austrian Grand Prix was won by Ducati rider Andrea Dovizioso, who has been in great form in recent weeks.
Suzuki rider Joao Mir secured a second-place finish and he was followed by Jack Miller of Ducati in the enthralling race.
Vinales' teammate Fabian Quartararo is sitting at the top of the riders' standings followed by Dovizioso.
The 25-year-old Vinales is now placed third on the riders' standings and he will be looking to move back into second place by winning the Styrian Grand Prix.

Vinales tried to explain why he has been inconsistent this season as he is still searching for his first win in the current campaign.
"It's very difficult to explain. For me, for many years, I struggle with the Yamaha in the race," Vinales said on Autosport.
"I don't know why I lose all grip, I lose all braking and I cannot do anything. The positive of this weekend is at least at the end I was in good lap times.
"I gave my best to even win one point, which we know for this championship is very important. But it seems very complicated, it's difficult to understand even for myself."
Yahama are sitting at the top of Manufacturers' Championship standings - 14 points above their closest rivals, Ducati.
Ducati and KTM are placed second and third respectively on the standings after four races.
