RINS VISION TO STANDING THE RIGHT TRUTH FOR MOTOGP RAGE

 Grand Prix motorcycle racers follow suit and practice sessions in both tug-of-war and fast-paced biking as a reference point is a long-established strategy, and it causes various levels of annoyance on almost every MotoGP race weekend.

Some riders have received almost a ridiculous reputation for relying on that strategy to fit anywhere near the prestige. Marc Marquez does so despite his ingenuity.

Sometimes it hurts the passenger who is trying to make a shadow. Usually, it irritates the passenger in the shade.

Comedy scenes on television programs broadcast by passengers who spread the track and moved around waiting for someone to follow him during the third major Australian training session last weekend, and Aleix Espargaro's fury against Alex Marquez so after qualifying both put the issue in a new context. light.

It has led MotoGP to emulate the World Superbike Championship by creating a parallel to the Superpole sprint race it uses to set high grid points in its Sunday races. MotoGP champion Fabio Quartararo is among those lawyers.

But Suzuki's Alex Rins has a different opinion.

He was one of the biggest critics of what happened at the Circuit of the Americas last Saturday.

“It is unacceptable. What we saw in MotoGP is not acceptable, ”he said.

“We are the riders of MotoGP. I think they are waiting more than the Moto3 riders. Racing direction, managers need to do something because it is not a way to make a big race.

“We are big boys, we have to set an example for others.

“I do not know. I have no words to describe the feeling. I was in Q1 pushing, pushing, pushing, and then four or five passengers stopped in front.

“It does not make sense. It is very dangerous. They need to do something because, like this, we are not doing well. ”

His proposal is not to revive a solid format, but to authorize time gaps between riders to get out of the pit at the start of qualifying. Those gaps will obviously change as people face non-flying wheels differently, but Rins feels that will determine at least who will be punished - and he hopes they will be punished accordingly.

"I was thinking, maybe with Q1, Q2, in FP3 sequence, I was going as an example '' Aleix finished 11th place, so off he went, and then five seconds to wait for the next passenger, then left for the next passenger.

"This way, they will see which passengers are closing the throttle and receiving a fine."

Not all passengers feel the need for change.

Perhaps it is no surprise that Alex Marquez was among the defenders of the practice.

"For me it is a good thing if they want to follow me, it will be good news that I am fast," he said.

“It's something that happens in Moto3, that happens in Moto2, it happens in MotoGP. This is a game.

"To change the law, to be a superpole or something like that, I think the system is going to be very boring."

And Espargaro's complaints were not supported by his Aprilia team Maverick Vinales or his Honda rider Pol.

"Truth be told, this is not our job," Vinales said when asked by The Race what he thought of the views of the Rins era spaces.

"I will not waste time thinking about doing something - this is part of the game. Sometimes he plays better, sometimes he plays worse.

“But you have to be smart enough to get a good point, because, especially with Aleix, we took three yellow flags in the fastest three rounds on FP3. So we could not even make one wheel, the last wheel. But… we have to do it a long time ago!

“It is a matter of time. Nothing else. Time and luck to make time on time, that's all. "

Pol Espargaro called the tourism industry and the following a "part of the work" that everyone needed to embrace and work with.

"We are getting stronger and stronger, we are getting closer to everyone, and one-tenth, it is very resolving," he said.

“OK, sometimes it affects you, like me for example in Mandalika with Alex Marquez and [Luca] Marini, and sometimes you are in the background.

"You have to take it, it's not a problem."
