Rins apologizes to Spencer: "Calling him an adult is not the best"

On the Sunday after the Catalunya GP race, Alex Rins was taken by demons in a media huddle to the Circuitcat press room after it was confirmed that he had a double fracture in his left hand without displacement due to a fall caused by Nakagami’s initial offensive. It was the second in a row that Mugello, also with the Japanese as the main character -then he called him the worst driver on the grid-, and in Montmeló lost his tongue as much as he was angry. He sued the Panel of Commissioners and against two-time world champion Freddie Spencer who led them on the grounds that it was a career incident, as before.

“He showed that he was too old for that. A younger one, I don’t know, who competed in this new season, someone who had recently retired. I don’t know. But I ask you: what experience do they have?” , came to show. This Thursday on Media Day at the Sachsenring he corrected Alex’s kindness

“Let’s see, saying that Freddie (Spencer) is too old is not the best thing … After a race you have a lot of emotions, a lot of adrenaline. I’m not supposed to say how they should do their job, I’m the driver, they’re the managers, but I think they can improve their job. Let’s talk about that with the Safety Commission, let’s talk to them ”, explained the Suzuki rider.

Nakagami and Rins met again this Thursday at the Circuit Clinic because they were both called to pass the medical exam. Alex joked that “we had some really cool Estrella Galicia at the hospitality … No, no, we met at the medical center and she apologized. I accepted them, because anyone can be wrong. What I told him was that he needed to think carefully about why he had made this mistake, and he told me that he understood it, that it was completely his mistake, that he had missed the braking. To my surprise he told me that after the fall he was waiting for punishment and it hadn’t come yet. “

“Of course we need to talk to the Safety Commission. I’ve already talked to other riders when I met them at the paddock and we more or less agree on the comment, we have the same opinion. Tomorrow we will all meet and we will talk, and we’ll try to press to try to resolve, to make the championship safer.to be safer.If you ask me what solutions I see, well I don’t know, I don’t know what solution will be given to the matter “Let’s see what the other riders and the others there think,” he explained.

He had already gotten ‘fit’ after examining his left hand -broken in the pyramidal and pisciform which could not be operated on because there was no displacement-. “Honestly, I feel fine. On a daily basis it doesn’t bother me much, because with the splint I can’t move it up and down. Yes, when I support myself, or when I take a bath, when I forget, it gives me stings of pain. But well, the important thing is we fit in the race, we will see how it goes tomorrow. The plan for FP1 is different from other grands prix. If we normally do 20 laps, we will do 10, to reserve myself and so that my wrist doesn’t load too much. This morning I was riding the bike standing up and I felt the fact that I was carrying my weight on the steering wheels. So we will see how it goes, but most of all we will try to have a head. If I only take three laps, the most sensible is that I don’t dive and I have more time to recover better for Assen ”.

And he was also asked about his future, as well as his teammate Joan Mir: “Honestly, talking about the situation for next year, I feel good, I haven’t signed anything yet, although I’m happy that a lot of teams are interested in mine. I really like it. Let’s see if we can announce something in the next races. We still have things to talk about and talk about. “
