The usual electric atmosphere filled the hills around Mugello Circuit for the 6th round of the 2019 #MotoGP Championship, and a thrilling race was witnessed by 84,000 excited fans. 

In the morning warm-up session both Joan Mir and #alexrins found useful improvements and placed themselves 2nd and 4th respectively, providing an extra confidence boost for the pair ahead of the race.

With 14 laps to go he had impressively taken the lead, and it became clear that he was ready for another strong result. An intense fight among the top four saw Alex stay close to the victory, and the title hopeful crossed the line in a very useful 4th place - holding onto 3rd in the championship standings. 

Ken Kawauchi - Technical Manager 
“Alex did an excellent job considering the grid position yesterday, he put together a great race. I want to apologise to him because it was hard to keep up with the others on the long straight, we have improved the bike and we will continue to work hard for this. Joan picked up some points today and he did a very good race, without the runoff it could have been even better, so we’re happy with the work he did today.”
