MotoGP | Rins: “I was afraid the bike would explode and I jumped”

The weekend image for now came from Alex Rins during FP4, when he had to jump from his burning Suzuki. The Spaniard, who was already certain of having a place in Q2, being tenth in the cumulative thanks to his time in FP2, explained how the story unfolded.

“It wasn’t easy, at turn 10, two before where I jumped off the bike, I got a little fright, I looked at the bike and didn’t see anything strange, but I noticed the rear was slipping again and for my safety, and for the safety of the other riders, I went off the track. Then I noticed that there was fire and I thought the bike was going to explode, I got scared, so I put the bike in neutral, I turned off the bike and I jumped, “Rins explained.

The Suzuki rider spoke to his mechanics, who explained the reason for the fire: “It was a problem with the engine oil pipe. Luckily we saved the engine, which is fine, so it was just a bad scare, “he added.

Rins showed great coldness: despite the bike being on fire, he had time to put the bike in neutral and turn off the engine before jumping off, thus saving the engine: “Honestly we don’t try these things, I thought the bike was about to explode. , but since we have a limited number of engines, I turned it off before I jumped, “he admitted.

After the incident, which caused a red flag and a halt in the session for a few minutes, Rins was back on track.

“In FP4 it was a bit difficult for me to get back on track, I was thinking about that scene, and this conditioned me a bit. In Q2 I had to do a fast lap and it was important to qualify well. improving, but at turn 12 I had to abort the lap when the front closed, but luckily I had already set a time, “explained Rins, who will start from eighth on the grid.

So read:

“I’m ready, I’m working on everything, body, head and concentration. It doesn’t happen many times that the bike catches fire, it took me two laps to forget the fire. But we worked well at the end of FP4: I don’t know what tires we’ll use. for the race, but I think we are ready because things are going more or less well. There is only one line to overtake and overtaking will be at the limit, so we have to make a good start and keep our position. “

Rins then explained that on Friday he was feeling unwell, with the feeling that he was incubating a disease.

“It was a complicated weekend, you have to be one hundred percent here because of the heat, yesterday I was sick and I still have stomach problems. I feel much better, I slept tonight what I did not sleep in the previous ten days. I normally sleep like a bear, but I don’t know what happened to me on Thursday. Now my body is fine but my belly is still a little shaky, so I hope the white rice will help me, “concluded the Barcelona native.
