MotoGP of Germany: Rins grabs a crash streak after four races with points | MotoGP

Alex Rins’ MotoGP return after missing the Catalunya Grand Prix was a good one – all in all when he finished 11th.

The points for Rins stopped a series of four falls that began in Portimao.

The Spaniard made it into the top ten early on and seemed to have a good race pace, but when it rained on lap five it “took all of feeling”.

Commenting on his race, Rins added: “The race was a bit tough for me. A lot of, shall we say, not moments, but different situations. First of all, I got off to a good start, I tried to overtake some drivers.” , and on the fourth lap I was behind Binder trying to overtake him because I think I had a little better pace than him.

“But when the rain came it took all of my feeling, all of my confidence, and then I was two or three laps after the rain trying to get that feeling back.

“So in the end we had a bit of an argument with Pol Espargaro and Jorge Martin and I was able to cope with the pain of the hand a little.

“It was not an easy race, not an easy race, but we finished eleventh, so we are ready for Assen.”

As for most of the season, Rin’s team-mate Joan Mir unqualified on Saturday, but the 25-year-old said problems with his starting position and thus the prospects for the race in Q2 with yellow flags.

Rins said: “I did what I expected. The problems for us started yesterday. Yesterday I felt good to do a good qualifying, I felt good to start from the second row, but we could because of it not the yellow flags because of the other drivers, let’s say so.

“When I started from P11, I thought, OK, it will be difficult, but let’s see how the laps go and when the others have the tires we see if we can regain any more positions.

“But the rain came and I think maybe that was a problem because five races that I crashed, five zeros – not easy when the rain comes. We are people and I didn’t have the feeling of being on the grid plus rain, I definitely expected that. “
