He has some of the last six long races won three. There’s no doubt he’s fit. That some doubts are coming instead to those in Honda HRC who preferred Mir it’s almost certain.
Alex Rins he is the man of the day. After romantic victories on sunset boulevard with Suzuki this one arrived on Honda, awaited for 24 GPs. In 2022 the Japanese manufacturer was left dry and the latest success is Misano 2021, with Marc Marquez. If, on the other hand, you want the victory of a Honda rider other than number 93, you have to go to 2018 and knock on the LCR house again: Cal Crutchlow which he won in Argentina.
Rins is one specialist of Texas, fourth victory on this track: “It’s hard to say something, I was pushing a lot with Pecco, I’m very happy, we get the win here after Moto3, Moto2 and Suzuki… now also with Honda, I’m very happy”.
It’s a win historic. These are the words that Rins said to Sky.
Similarities and differences between Honda and Suzuki…
“I struggle out of the slow corners with the Honda, just as I did with the Suzuki, in this they are similar. The Honda rears up out of the corners, so I struggled a lot. However, the bike isn’t bad here and I don’t go badly here I made a difference here. I’m very happy.”
About his new team…
“They welcomed me with open arms, Lucio gave me this chance. On the track, I always give 100%”
Then a technical analysis which reveals that its base has also been spotted by the other Honda riders…
“I’m happy because the basis we’ve created is being taken by the others too, I’m proud”
About the race…
“Pecco made it difficult for me, after his crash I had to be concentrated but I made a couple of mistakes, then I went my way and I’m happy”
