Rins: "Race Direction does not have the level to be in MotoGP"

Suzuki’s was the spitting image of post-race desolation, which for him only lasted a few dozen meters before Takaaki Nakagami hit him from behind and knocked him to the ground, just before doing the same to Pecco Bagnaia.

“First of all I hope Nakagami is fine, because what he has done is very bad, crossing the track, braking so late and taking two drivers ahead. But I hope he is fine because he hit Pecco with his head and I don’t know if he is physically well”, said the Spaniard.

“What is unacceptable and inadmissible is having the stewards that we have, and perhaps the Race Directorate, Mike Webb (race director) is there with the stewards. That there is no decision after this action is very strong. Because leaving aside the Mugello incident, there can be many points of view, it is unacceptable that they do what they do. Of course I am going to press and talk to Carmelo (Ezpeleta, CEO of Dorna) because this has been discussed in the Security Commission, This past Friday we talked about the Mugello incident between Nakagami and myself, and then we talked about the experiences of other drivers and it is unacceptable,” he lamented.

Nakagami’s steering was locked and he fell, it wasn’t a direct hit, so the stewards decided it was a racing crash.

“I don’t know what they were based on, Livio (Suppo) has gone to speak with Race Direction, and I don’t know, but what they have shown is that they don’t have the level to be in MotoGP”.

Rins considers, that he already said in Mugello that Nakagami was the “dirtiest” driver on the grid, he considers that greater evils must be prevented.

“Until something big happens they won’t do anything, of course they have left me without options for the championship and Pecco too, they have ruined his championship”.

“We have done an X-ray and there is a small fracture, it seems, I have no movement in the wrist,” he said without expanding the subject further, to insist again with the Race Direction.

“The decision they have made does not seem normal to me, there is a driver who is very aggressive on the track and if those who are at the top, those who control, do nothing, he will never learn”, settled the Barcelonan.
