Alex Rins narrowly avoided contact with Jack Miller in the Italian MotoGP Sprint, but a trip through the gravel trap sent him to the back of the field.
Alex Rins was sent off track and fell to last place in the Italian MotoGP Sprint after a near miss while trying to pass Jack Miller. He initially settled into 11th place but got involved in a battle with Miller, Enea Bastianini, and Fermin Aldeguer on lap three. Despite briefly climbing to tenth after overtaking Miller, he was pushed back to 13th during the skirmish. Rins ran wide to avoid contact with Miller after almost crashing into him, which led to his struggles in the Sprint race. Along with his teammate Fabio Quartararo, Rins faced issues with chatter and lack of grip in the very hot conditions, resulting in Quartararo dropping from fourth to tenth. Despite these challenges, Rins was able to pass Somkiat Chantra to finish 18th, 24.661s behind the race winner Marc Marquez. Rins remained optimistic, stating that he improved his personal best lap time at Mugello during qualifying and looked forward to starting from ninth position in the upcoming race.
