Alex Rins said he’s “never suffered as much as I did this weekend” at the Sachsenring MotoGP.
Alex Rins described Sunday’s German MotoGP as “the toughest day of my entire career”, finishing last of the ten riders to reach the chequered flag, over 39 seconds behind winner Marc Marquez. Despite scoring points due to high attrition rate, the Monster Yamaha rider was dejected, finishing 20.681s behind team-mate Fabio Quartararo and 13.560s adrift of the next closest rider, Raul Fernandez. Rins admitted, “I think this has been the toughest day of my entire career,” mentioning he had never suffered as much even in his rookie year or returning from injury. A long post-race debrief provided little solutions, with Rins stating that he finished last, fourteen seconds behind the next rider. Following his 16th grid start, Rins struggled as tyre wear set in, unable to keep up with the pace due to worsening grip. Rins expressed frustration, saying, “The other Yamahas don’t seem to have this problem, but I couldn’t be faster,” as he aims to improve his performance at the upcoming Brno race and rebuild his confidence.
