In the family of those injured in MotoGP at the start of the season, Suzuki official Alex Rins is in demand here. He is also the one who, despite his condition, held his rank to the highest level since he brought home a courageous tenth place from Jerez 2. Meanwhile, Cal Crutchlow ranked thirteenth and Marc Marquez began his withdrawal period... But if time will help the two Honda riders to recover, the condition of the Suzuki official will always remain in suspense, before an operation which is planned for the end of the year...
alex rins will undoubtedly get better and better, which will allow him to ride faster and faster, but he will still have to be careful, because another fall on his shoulder would have very unfortunate consequences. After the right shoulder injury suffered during Q2 of the Spanish Grand Prix, the Catalan arrives Brno not yet in perfect condition. “ The shoulder can pop out of the joint in the event of a hard fall » admits the teammate Joan Mir.
« I feel good, better than in Jerez » declares all the same Kidneys on the eve of free practice in the Czech Republic. “ But I'm not 100%. At home in Andorra I worked with the physiotherapist twice a day and now I feel much better. I can't say how fit I am, I will only know after FP1. But I am convinced that this weekend will go well, this circuit should also be less difficult than Jerez ».
70 to 80% chance that the shoulder will dislocate again
It remains thatAlex Rins will certainly have to undergo surgery at the end of the season. “ Obviously the muscle is not in the same condition as the left side. Doctors say there is now a 70 to 80 percent chance the shoulder will pop out of the joint again if I fall hard, worst case scenario. I prefer not to perform any surgery now as it would take a long time. We'll see how it goes this season. If I have frequent problems, I will have surgery after the last race ».
He finishes : " I will definitely try to give 100%. If you feel good, you take the handlebars and you fight with the other riders, you don't think about your shoulder. As long as I'm mathematically a competitor, I'll try ". It will be recalled that Marc Marquez will probably experience five misdeeds before taking back the collar. There will then be nine tests remaining.
