Statements Alex Rins GP Austin MotoGP 2024

“It was a very difficult sprint, even more so because I was involved in the problem that Marco [Bezzecchi] had at the start. Then, at the second corner, I went off the track with him and I was last. Then I tried to drive alone and recover positions, I made some overtaking. It was difficult. We struggled in the second half of the Sprint race. In the final laps I didn't feel enough support on the front. We're looking into why this is the case. I have to adapt and figure out how to ride in a slightly different way so I don't have these problems.”
