Strong 7th place for Mir, while Rins suffers a DNF

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Team #suzuki Press Office - July 7. 

Joan Mir: 7th (+ 17.156) 
Alex Rins: DNF 

#joanmir secures strong finish with 7th place. 
#alexrins crashes out of ‘safe’ 2nd place. 
• Team head to the summer break in reflective mood. 


The German GP, the final round before this year’s summer break, brought a tough race for Team #suzuki ECSTAR following a very promising Friday and Saturday. 

Both riders chose the medium-hard tyre combination for the demanding 30 lap race, and both got away from the line in good shape. Rins quickly slotted into the lead group with 4th place, while Mir placed himself in a pacy 10th. 

As Marquez began to pull away at the front, Rins wasted no time in making his move into 2nd place, setting the fastest lap, and aiming to keep his rival as close as possible. Alex then settled into a strong rhythm to hold a ‘safe’ second position for a large portion of the race. Unfortunately, with 11 laps to go, Alex suffered a quick crash and was unable to rejoin the race. Luckily he did not pick up any injuries. 

MotoGP rookie, #joanmir, was feeling comfortable in his fast and experienced second group. A small mistake set him back for a couple of laps, but he was ready to fight again towards the end of the race. Mir had 4th place in his sights as he battled with the three Ducatis ahead of him, and he held 5th place for a number of laps. However, as the chequered flag flew, he had dropped to a respectable 7th place. 

Coming into the summer break, Rins holds 4th place in the championship standings with 101 points. Mir is 13th with 39 points. 

Ken Kawauchi - Technical Manager: 

“It was such a shame that Alex had a crash here, because both times I think we would have been on the podium. But we’ll fight back after the summer break. Joan did a great battle with those in his group and he is continuing to improve all the time. We wanted to have a great weekend in honour of Ito-san [Mitsuo Ito, former #suzuki racer and TT winner who has died last Wednesday – ndr], and it didn’t work out quite as we’d hoped, but we’re really looking forward to coming back in Brno.”
