After reports that KTM/Tech3 could replace him with Pol Espargaro over his shoulder injury, Maverick Vinales took to Instagram to call the coverage 'stupid' and 'nonsense,' insisting he will not race in WorldSBK and will finish the season as his contract states. A MotoGP News journalist argues the criticism is misplaced, since the reports were based on verified information from trusted insider Rosario Triolo rather than irresponsible or unsubstantiated rumor.

Publicly vowing to finish out his contract takes some guts. The journalist's point is that the KTM report was backed by solid sources. Even so, I think a rider's anger and whether the reporting was accurate are two separate questions.

His shoulder injury status is really what I'm most curious about.

If the source checks out, the reporting itself isn't wrong.

He should've gone through his manager instead of blowing up on social.

He's probably the most sensitive to this kind of report, understandably.
