168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Rins returns to home soil for this weekend’s Spanish MotoGP hoping to bounce back from a frustrating race in Qatar, where he says performance limitations left h🍒𒁃im unable to show his true potential.

Currently 16th in the world championship, the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Monster Yamaha star is hoping the Jerez w🧸eekend 📖- along with Monday’s crucial test - can help deliver the technical tools he needs to fight.

“I’m looking forward to seeing the European fans again,” said Rins. “Jerez is🌺 a nice track, and this GP always has a niceꦬ atmosphere, so I’m looking forward to it.

“I’m ready to go racing again – w✨hich is good because we have a lot of laps to ⭕do here!

“It’s not ju💎st the Spanish GP: on Monday we also have the Jerez Test when we will have the opportunity to focus on bike development.”

Rins knows what it feels like to shine at Jerez, having stood on 🐈the podium three times across Moto3, Moto2 and MotoGP - most recently in 2019 when he finished second in the premier class.

But his last outing in Qatar highlighted the gap Yamaha still needs to close, both in terms of power and drive, with Rins lef༒t stuck behind slower ri♔ders for much of the race.

“[I was hit on the arm by a stone] and it was super painful,” he said. “And then, we gave it everything. I mean, there is n✃othing [more] to do.

“When 🍒we have a rider in front, like for me was Ogura, who blocks us - he’s doing his race, but I had more performance and I needed to wait until he made a mistake to overtake him.

“I mean, we c♊an🙈not race like this…. They know what they need to improve.”

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Like team-mate Fabio Quartararo, Rins pointed to corner exit and straight-line acceleration as key weaknesses, admitting he was pow𝓰erless when rivals surged past before the br🅘aking zone.

“Corner exit 𝔍and power on the straight. Two riders overtook me, one on the inside and one on the outside, before the braking in corner one. So it’s difficult to manage on the bike, as a rider… But I overtook Marini [Honda] on the straight, so we took the positive part!”

The last six p🀅laces on the Qatar top speed charts contained three Hondas🐎 and three Yamahas.

♍Fortunately for the Japanese factories, Jeꦏrez has much shorter straights compared to the opening rounds at Buriram, Termas, COTA and Lusail.
