The Suzuki rider has improved compared to yesterday and hopes to continue his momentum to get closer to the podium tomorrow.
Alex Rins has so far not had the start to the season he wanted. With several errors to his credit, he is only 13th in the championship at the moment and is ahead of his teammate Joan Mir, who for her part took a podium. Placed but never enough to play for victory, number 42 hopes to be able to confirm at the forefront tomorrow.
However, things were not won at the end of the first day of testing with a final 13th place in the combined times of free practice and Rins wanted to further adjust certain things in order to have better sensations with the front. The changes seem to have borne fruit since his times spoke for him with a fifth place in FP3 then in FP4, allowing him to automatically progress to Q2.
“I had a good feeling today, better than yesterday and I'm happy to start from the third row”, did he declare. “I set my best lap during qualifying and I progressed quite a bit throughout the day, my race pace is pretty good. »
“I think our bike is very competitive here in Misano, it's just that the Yamahas are superior in the dry. In the past we haven't had great results [on this track] but I feel very good, even if I'm perhaps not at the same level as in Austria.", he added to the site GP One. “I think the race will be quite complex and it will be important to get back to a good position in the first laps in order to be able to fight afterwards. »
