With the prolonged absence of Marc Marquez who will miss not only this weekend's Spanish Grand Prix but also, and perhaps above all, the Jerez test which will follow, Alex Rins appears more than ever as the leader of the troops Honda heading into this fourth round of the season. And he seems to be doing well there as this position has been legitimized since his last victory in Austin, the first with a V4, because the previous one in MotoGP had been with the Suzuki in-line four-cylinder… Before launching into the fray, he gave a speech like a boss, with his convictions…
Before talking about Jerez which will not be a piece of cake, alex rins takes part of the Texan donut: “ in Austin, it was a fantastic weekend, every day. It was incredible, in the race I was trying to stay behind Pecco and then when he crashed, I found myself in the lead. I made a few mistakes, but I refocused and brought her home. I was very fast ».
But now it is spain which is on the menu: “ a bet for this Grand Prix? Not yet, although we're starting from scratch here. We love the track, we will try to do our best. You have to know how to adapt to always be on top. The Ducatis ride very fast, the objective remains the same whatever the result ».
Alex Rins: “ the team told me they would let me test Joan Mir's framework, but I prefer to stick with my framework »
alex rins adds: " when I return to the box I try to give clear information and say how I was on the bike to improve it ". Then he makes this revelation: “ this morning the team told me they would let me test Joan Mir's framework, but I prefer to stick with my frame et my setting for this Grand Prix. Then we will see Monday practice ».
He finishes : " every time I'm on the Honda I'm always more relaxed and confident. Lap after lap in Austin I improved my performance and was able to handle the brakes in a different way. I adapt to this bike, which is completely different from the Suzuki"
