Alex Rins salvages top 10 finish in difficult French GP

Team #Suzuki Press Office - May 19. 

Alex Rins: 10th (+ 13.709) 
Joan Mir: 16th (+ 1 lap) 

• #alexrins limits the damage with 10th place. 
• Joan Mir’s misfortune continues with warm-up lap crash. 
• Team #Suzuki ECSTAR ready to return at Mugello. 

A tumultuous weekend for Team #Suzuki ECSTAR in France saw Joan Mir struggle against conditions and crashes, while #alexrins had to fight hard to try and defend his championship position. 

A chilly but dry Le Mans circuit greeted the riders for the 5th round of the season, but there was drama before the lights went out as Joan Mir fell victim to a crash on the warm-up lap, the youngster lost the front following a crash from Abraham in front of him. Mir returned to the pits quickly and was able to start the GP with his second bike from pit lane, after the rest of the field had left the start line. 

A disappointing conclusion for Joan, finishing 16th, he had been gaining useful information and experience throughout the weekend with his GSX-RR on this technical track in the wet. 

On the other hand, Rins was able to limit the damage of his 19th place qualifying position. The Spaniard had a steady start to the 27-lap race, but he chipped away and maintained his focus. After passing some riders he settled into a strong and defensive rhythm and he crossed the line in 10th place. He slips to 3rd in the championship but feels confident coming into Round 6 in Mugello. 

Ken Kawauchi - Technical Manager 
“This weekend has been hard for both #Suzuki riders. Alex worked well to recover positions from a bad grid spot, and he took 10th. Joan was unlucky on the warm-up lap and it was a troublesome weekend for him. We struggled here a lot and now we need to look into why that was and try to make some improvements for the next race.”
