Alex Rins struck by 'painful' stone at Qatar MotoGP

Then𒊎 came what he would later describe on social media as a "huge stone impact" ꦗon his arm.

"I had a better start than [the Sprint], but it was still a tough🅷 race, especially because I was hit by a stone in the middle of the straight on lap 7,” Rins said.

“It really hurt, to the point that I did think abo🏅ut going into the box because i🐽t was really painful.

“But I gave it everything.”

Rins found hiꦬmself back in 15th with five laps to go, as he fought with Enea Bastianini and A🔜i Ogura.

Despite the arm pain, Rins regrouped in the final laps, pouncing for 14th, then hunting down Brad Binder to snatch 13th in the final sectoꦺr.

“O♏gura was doing his race, but I was stuck behind him,” Rins said.

“When he made a𒁃 mistake, I overtook him, and luckily also Binder in the sec๊ond-last corner, so I still finished P13.

“It later became 🌼P12 after the penalty handed to Maverick [Vinales]."

Team director Massimo Meregalli praised Rins’ determination: “Alex was in pain, which for sure👍 didn't help him, but he rallie🌃d.”

Team-mate Fabio Quartararo, whꦚo qualified on the front row, finished in seventh place after the demotion of Vinales.
