Alex Rins finished the Australian Grand Prix Sprint Race in 13th position, a result below his expectations after a promising qualifying session. The Spaniard, who had managed to reach Q2 with a solid time despite difficult weather conditions, saw his ambitions jeopardised by unforeseen problems in the Sprint.
« We did a good job in qualifying and yesterday in free practice we set a good lap time to get into Q2. ", said Kidneys. He also stressed that the sensations on the wet track were positive. But not everything went as planned during the Sprint Race.
A good start was quickly followed by a slight wheelie, and more importantly, an unexpected difficulty in warming up the rear tyre in the first few laps, which seriously impacted his race pace.
