After the race in Assen, Álex Rins criticized the overtaking of Johann Zarco, which finally brought the Spaniard into the gravel. When asked if he had spoken to Rins after the contact on the track, the Pramac driver said that he has not yet met his teammate.
Additionally, the # 5 says that rins who want to speak to you will be open enough to exchange ideas and opinions about an overtaking maneuver that Zarco says will be part of the race.
“No, I haven’t spoken to him yet. I didn’t know he was sad, it’s true that we had contact, but it’s not an easy corner and at that moment in the race I felt like I wanted to stay in the front group. I even tried to overtake [Maverick] Viñales, but he was faster and I made my trajectory longer. At Rins it’s true that we touched because when you attack here it’s not always easy to stay inside. Everything was totally under control […]. I didn’t speak to him, but as I said: people can come to me when they have to talk, I do that when I need something. I’m sure Rins and I can do it too, ”he said in a debriefing to the journalists present.
