Racing while mentally burned out is the most dangerous thing - I don't want him to push through it.

Vinales's pace is the real deal, so being treated like this is just sad.

Contract pulled back and talks with KTM gone quiet - does he even have a seat next season?

The 'burned out' comment sounds like it's for real - retirement's clearly hanging over this.

KTM's a mess right now. So they took Di Gianna and cut Vinales loose?

KTM already locked in Alex and Di Gianna, so Vinales just ended up the odd one out.

Declaring a signed contract 'void' after two weeks - isn't that a bad look for KTM?

Backing out of a signed contract usually gets messy - expect talk of penalty clauses.
