Rins: “I'm at my best moment; just need to finish it"

It is worth noting that the Suzuki has fallen at all times rolling in the front positions. In Portimao , while trying to defuse Fabio Quartararo’s breakaway. In Jerez , on the second lap and when he was riding in the leading group, and in Le Mans , two weeks ago, as soon as he left the workshop after changing bikes, and when he was riding second, close to Marc Márquez.

Those three triggers make Rins appear 12th in the general statistics, 57 points behind Quartararo, the leader. A distance practically impossible to reduce if we take into account that the irregularity that prevailed throughout the past year has not been visible this season.

To try to make life a little easier for its riders, Suzuki has updated the electronics of its bike with a view to this Italian Grand Prix, and Rins’ second position, less than a tenth from the fastest (Pecco Bagnaia), seems confirm the step forward made by the Hamamatsu prototype.

“The new electronic package is working well, with it we gain a lot. In previous years I lost a lot on this track due to the wheelies, but this time we are better in this regard”, commented Rins , convinced that Sunday’s will be a race with alternatives, in which he hopes to be involved in the brawl for the triumph: “The race will be interesting because the Ducati will be there; also the Yamaha and Joan (Mir)”.

At Suzuki they regret the setbacks that have accompanied the #42 in this championship start, although those responsible for the structure of the big S are convinced that, if it continues to work as it has done so far, its luck will change. He thinks the same. “I feel good, and I’m at my best, I just need to finish it off”, conceded Rins.
