Yamaha’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Rins says his leg was “fully burned” and “destroyed” due to the “extreme” heat at the MotoGP Thai Grand Prix.

Temperatures have been close to 40 degrees Celsius throughout the 2025 season-opening weekend at Buriram, with the heat forcing VR46’s Fabio Di Giannantonio to retire from the sprint 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:due to burning.

This led to discussions on Saturday about the grand prix potentially being shortened from its original 26-lap distance, though that never happen๊ed in the end.

Conditions improved marginally for Sunday, though ambie🀅nt temperature was still 36 degrees C.

Yamaha’s Rins says heඣ “couldn’t handle” the heat from lap seven as 🦂his leg was “destroyed” by burns.

“For sure, it was a ⛄physical race, more to ha𓆏ndle the heat on the body,” Rins, who was 17th, said.

“My l🐼eg is destroyed, fully burned. But already on the sജprint I felt a little bit [the heat], but from lap seven today I couldn’t handle it.

“I was arriving on the back straight with the leg 👍almost out [of the bike] to avoid this burniℱng.

“In th꧑e end, theಌ weather condition was a little bit better than yesterday.

“It was a little bit more cloudy and was a bit less warm t𒊎han yesterday. But for sure, lap after lap, these 1000cc engines, we felt the heat.

“For sure today was🔯 extreme conditions, and also yester🎐day. I would say more so yesterday than today, but it is what it is.”

Honda’s Joan Mir was another to suffer on Sun♕day, noting that he got “blisters” on his legs from the heat coming from his bike.

He says the heat from the Honda was at its worst in slow corne🎃rs, which led to him crashing out at the final corner on lap 15.

“I don’t know exactly the temperature but for sure it’s very hot,” Mir sai🅰d.

“It’s burning. Also in the right corners, especially the slowest corners, I was bur⭕ning. I crashed in a corner that I was burni🍨ng myself.

“So, it was a shame but I think that all the diffi🦩cult moments we spent with my team also make us stronger and we are happy in one part because we were able to be strong and we were coꩲmpetitive here.

“But in the other hand we know we have to continue working and try to avoidꦕ these things because I was not able to r🎉ide.”

Fabio Quartararo reckons reducing Thai GP distance “safer”

Yamaha’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo🔜 says 26 laps was “the maximum” the riders could have done in those conditions and believes it would have been “safer” to reduce the distance even if it would have been “worse for the show”.

“To be honest, it was really on tꦅhe limit,” 2021 world champion added on t🌠he heat.

“I finished qui🍌te w🍰ell, but these bikes with this heat I had all of my left leg burning.

“So, I think it was a little bit extreme because it never really happens in many places that you have tha🅠t much hot condition.

“But I think that a little bit less laps would ꦗhave been worse for the show, but it was clearly the maximum we could do today.

“I don’t really go to the safety ♏commissions on Fridays, but sometimes we have to. For me it was safer to make the race a bit shorter anꦰd for everyone it was a bit safer.”

Shortening a race due to 𓂃heat is not uncommon, with the inaugural Indian GP having laps knocked off its original dista🌸nce due to extreme temperatures in 2023.

That race ended with Jorge Martin neediౠng medical 🍬attention due to dehydration.

However, not everyone agrees that the 2025 Thai GP needed to be shortened, with LCR Honda rider 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Johann Zarco noting that ඣthe heat was the same for everyone and was “not dangerous”.

“I burned my 🐻calf, but we are n🦂ot the only one,” he said.

“Jack burne𝐆d his calf, Brad Binder has his biceps♌ burned. So, all the bikes are struggling with the heat.

“It’s not dangerous, it’s more difficult, but n💎ot to the point t𒊎hat it becomes dangerous.

“It’s just too hot🦋 for the machines. It can be dangerous if the engines start to break, but also with these bikes if we break an engine the bikes stop.”
