Team-mate168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Fabio Quartararo was left in tears at Silverstone when he was forced out of a safe lead when his device became lockꦍed in the lowered position with sev🐎en laps to go.

Rins also suffere𓆏d the same issue on the final lap but was able to nurse his M1 to the finish in 15th, which bec𓂃ame 13th after tyre pressure penalties for others.

“Yeah, they’ve changed some… let's say parts on t🉐he ride height devi🐬ce, because Fabio and myself, we had problems with it,” Rins said at Aragon on Thursday.

“They don't know 100% why th𒅌e problem [happened]. But they chang🍬ed a little bit something so that theoretically it doesn't happen again.”

Rins will bܫe seeking his 🐻first grand prix top ten of the season on Sunday, at a track where he won for Suzuki in 2020.

“I𒐪'm feeling good. I won here in the past. It’s a track that I really enjoy,” he said of the challenging MotorLand layout. “It has a little bit of everything, hard braking, braking with angle and also fast corners.

"I ✱will give my maximum to do a good GP starting from Friday with trying to gain entry into Q2.”

“Fabio’s able to brake 15 metres later!”

Quartararo has been peerless in terms of one-lap speed in recent events, securi𝓀ng pole𒅌 position at the last three rounds.

Rins reveꦰaled that braking is one area where the Frenchman ha𝓰s an edge over the other M1s.

“Fabio’s able to brake 15 metres later than me!" he said. "We need to fix this, at least [over] one lap, because it’s where he was making the difference bet꧙ween the Yamaha riders.

“He’s able to brake later than us and stop the bike - maybe for his setup, it's comp⭕letely different to ours. But every rider has their own riding style and setting. Let's see if we can do a step here.”

After seven rounds, Quartararo hol♈ds eighth in the world championship, wit♈h Pramac’s Jack Miller in 16th and Rins 17th.
