The Suzuki rider is currently in a good dynamic: despite three blank results, he scored his first podium in MotoGP and re-signed with his team for two years. With the next Grand Prix being at home in Barcelona, everything is extremely positive for him.
Alex Rins made a very good start to the 2018 season. Even though he made mistakes three times, he got on his first podium in the premier category, and made two top 10s. Although he is discreet, he is progressing very well. quickly, and could soon come and join the fight in front.
The Suzuki team understood this well and decided to re-sign with him in order to keep this emerging talent. It must be said that the Spanish driver achieved these results having less experience than the others since he was absent from five Grands Prix last year due to injury, thus missing almost the entire first part of the season. 2017.
He was therefore able to get top 10s on circuits that were unknown to him with MotoGP, and he could be capable of more this weekend. After a top 5 at Mugello, he arrives more determined than ever in Barcelona, especially since it is his Grand Prix: “I can't wait to ride in Montmeló for the Catalan Grand Prix because it's my home GP! The atmosphere here is always special, it's not just on the circuit that it's special, the whole weekend is special with a lot of people supporting us, and me in particular. We arrive in great shape. The Mugello race was positive and the test we did here a few weeks ago showed us which direction to take and gave us some positives. »
