Alex Rins: “It was quite hard. I had a whole month in the corset and trying to rest, because back injuries are something to take seriously. The crash was a strange one because I fell, and then a couple of laps later my teammate, Andrea Iannone, fell in exactly the same place. We went through the telemetry trying to determine the cause but we didn’t find anything. I took the same trajectory, the front wheel locked, and I lost it.” Source link

9 reasons why…2017 could be even better than 2016!
In MotoGP™, there are four rookies in 2017. Moto2™ Champion Johann Zarco, joined at Monster Yamaha Tech 3 by former Moto2™ rival Jonas Folger, and intermediate class title challengers Alex Rins, at Team Suzuki Ecstar, and Sam Lowes, at Aprilia Racing Team Gresini. Pre-season testing proved more difficult for Lowes and Rins, who both cut their track time short following crashes, but Zarco and Folger were both immediately on the pace and within hundredths of each other. The fight for Rookie of the Year in 2017 will surely be a mouth-watering one. Source link
