Rins won the tenth race of MotoGP 2020 with a slight lead of 0.263 seconds over Alex Márquez.

Meanwhile, Rins’ teammate Joan Mir was forced to settle for finishing third after being overtaken by Alex Márquez.

Responding to this result, Alex Rins said that he was really happy.

Because Alex Rins hasn’t been on the championship podium for a long time and he had an injury early in the season.

“We really had a good race,” Alex Rins said, as reported by Crash’s BolaSport.com.

“This is my first win with the status of leading the race for a long time,” Rins said again.

Alex Rins also admitted that victory in Aragon was not easy.

According to Alex Rins, the race for the 2020 Aragon MotoGP title is more difficult than when he won his last two victories, namely in the Americas MotoGP 2019 and British MotoGP 2019.

Last season, Alex Rins successfully defeated Valentino Rossi at the Circuit of the Americas and Marc Márquez at the British Circuit at Silverstone.

“The last two wins, I fought Valentino Rossi and Marc Márquez, but this time it was more difficult,” said Alex Rins commenting on his competition with Alex Márquez in MotoGP Aragon.

“Because it’s easy to make mistakes when you’re in charge, but I try to stay calm and I think I’m good enough on my bike,” Rins said again.

Not only rejoicing in Alex Rins’ victory, the Suzuki team is also celebrating it because, for the first time in 20 years, its riders lead the MotoGP standings.

Suzuki Ecstar rider Joan Mir won the third podium in the Aragón MotoGP and pushed Fabio Quartararo (Petronas Yamaha SRT) from the top of the standings.

Until the 2020 Aragon MotoGP race is complete, Mir has accumulated 121 points.

He is six points ahead of Quartararo.

This weekend, MotoGP 2020 will resume at Motorland Aragón to host Teruel MotoGP. (Diya Farida Purnawangsuni)
