The Sito Pons driver set the pace of this first day on the Austin circuit, the city that proclaims itself the world capital of music.
First this morning, first this afternoon, Alex Rins is undoubtedly on a good pace which could mean a real increase in power after an 8th place in Qatar and a 4th in Argentina.
On a track where the Spanish rider obtained his first victory in the world championship and his first podium in the Moto2 category, the leader and only temporary representative of the HP Paginas Amarillas team (Edgar Pons being unavailable due to hepatitis) felt very comfortable from the first minutes of the morning session, thanks to a good initial adjustment of his Kalex.
Alex Rins: “iI really had a lot of fun with this bike on this track. The team gave me very good settings from the start. We then worked on the details, and each time I returned to the track I felt better. It's a track that I've always really liked and the truth is that I enjoy it. "
