Alex Rins: “Marc Marquez has f**** talent, it’s not easy but you have to turn the tables”
LCR rider Rins offered Honda their only optimism in a woeful MotoGP season by winning the Grand Prix of 🐽the Americas.
But even that glory cannot disguise another inept campaign which has left six-time premier class champion Marquez unable to even finish a grand prix, never mind fight at t🧸he front.
"It's hard, it tastes very bad to me because Marc has a fucking talent and it's not being easy at all,”🥀 Rins was quoted by .
“But hey,𒀰 in the end you have to turn the tables, you have to win, you have ܫto build a winning bike.
"Damn, I thought that Marc wou😼ld also win in Germany. What happened? I don't know, I have no idea.
“Pressure, extra pressure, I have no idea.”
Marquez♊ crashed five times at the Sachsenring, one of his favourite circuits, befoꦫre the grand prix started and was forced to pull out.
It was the lowest point of a season which might still break the strong relati♋onship between the star rider and his team.
Even Rins could quit Honda🌃 ꦦin favour of Yamaha who have made him an offer.
Rins said about the futur🌊e of Honda: "It's complicated, because what is clear is that right now the ones 'ruling the roost' are the European brands: Ducati, KTM, Aprilia.
“And i🐈t seems that the Japanese brands have lagged a bit behind.
“They have to do someth♉ing, of course they have to do something, because both Honda and Yamaha have the level, they are not small brands.
"I think that Honda was very confꦦident in this improvement that they have made at the chassis level with Kalex.
“But I 🎶also have to tell you from my point of view, and perhaps they will jump on me in the♌ comments, that I come from a Suzuki and the Honda is not so bad.
"What do I mean by this? I want to say that in many circuits, after spending six years with🥀 the Suzuki and having it in my hand, in many circuits I have gone faster with the Honda than with the Suzuki.
“Now, the problem is that the others have taken more 🦹steps forwꦓard.”
Rins will mi♊ss🍬 the next round of MotoGP on August 6 at Silverstone due to his broken leg.
