On Sunday, Suzuki rider Alex Rins entered the winners list in the first of two World Championship races in Aragon. In ten Moto GP races this season, there have already been eight different wins.
Rins beat his Spanish compatriots Alex Márquez in Honda and Joan Mir in Suzuki. Fabio Quartararo, who started from pole, ran out of points and handed over the championship lead to Mir. The best KTM rider was Brad Binder (11th).
Rins drove a tactically smart race, after a very good start he was smooth on the tires and took his time to overtake. “The victory is for the public that was not allowed to come, for the team and the family,” Rins said. Marquez avoided a Suzuki double win with a strong run. “I would not have thought about it from eleventh place. We definitely have to improve our classification,” he decided to do next week.
Suzuki rider leads world championship
With third place, Mir took the lead in the Quartararo World Championship. The Frenchman (Yamaha) finished 18th without points. By the way, he is the only one who has won more than once this season, he has three hits. There wasn’t much to cheer on for KTM on Sunday either, with Binder (South Africa) finishing eleventh and Pol Espargaró twelfth. In the World Cup, Mir is sixth ahead of Quartararo with 121 points, Pol Espargaró ninth.
Rossi with Corona is not
Valentino Rossi had to pass the Grand Prix for a positive coronavirus test. In the 115-time Italian Grand Prix winner, the disease is not symptom-free, he wrote about a fever on social media. Defending champion Marc Márquez is still missing due to his shoulder injury.
Moto2 and Moto3
In Moto2, Briton Sam Lowes on Kalex prevailed ahead of his teammates Enea Bastianini (ITA) and Jorge Martin (ESP). In Moto3, KTM rider Maximilian Kofler retired in 24th place with two laps remaining with a highsider. “In terms of speed, it was one of my best performances,” said the Austrian, who was positive about it. The first place went to the Spanish Jaume Masia (Honda) ahead of the two KTM riders Darryn Binder (RSA) and Raúl Fernández (ESP).
In just one week, the Teruel Grand Prix will be another round of the World Championship, also on the Alcañiz track in “MotorLand Aragon”.
