Yamaha rider Maverick Vinales will be eager to regain his form at the
San Marino Grand Prix in Misano Adriatico, San Marino on September 13.
The Spanish star, who is a former Moto3 world champion, was forced to retire at the recent Styrian Grand Prix due to a brake failure.
Vinales started the season well as he finished second in the first two races, but he has since finished 14th and 10th, before being forced to retire last month.

The Styrian Grand Prix was won by KTM rider Miguel Oliveira, who secured his maiden podium finish of the season.
Ducati rider Jack Miller secured a second-place finish and he was followed by KTM's Pol Espargaro in an entertaining race.
Yamaha's Fabian Quartararo is still sitting at the top of the riders' standings followed by Andrea Dovizioso of Ducati and Miller.
Vinales is now placed fifth on the riders' standings and he will be looking to move back into the top three positions by winning the San Marino Grand Prix.

The 25-year-old says it is imperative for Yamaha to improve his bikes in order to keep up with the pacesetters.
"Brno a mistake, Austria a mistake, Austria a mistake... We need to improve the bike a lot, right now the other competitors are much faster," Vinales said.
"We don't know about Misano, so we are going to try to keep ourselves calm and positive because we know that things can change very quickly. So we can't lose focus.
"But anyway, we lost three good opportunities, because Fabio was further back, so I think my possibilities to be at the front of the championship was clear. But when you do mistakes, this is what you have."
Yahama are sitting at the top of the Manufacturers' Championship standings with 88 points.
Ducati and KTM are placed second and third with 87 and 82 points respectively on the standings.
