It was MotoGP last season Alex Rins with Suzuki won twice and almost missed the overall third place with six points behind the rival from Yamaha, Maverick Vinales. He was also in pre-season testing Kidneys consistently fast this year and regularly ranked in the top four.
The Suzuki driver remains cautious about his chances of taking a step forward in the 2020/21 seasons - development is frozen due to the corona crisis. "It's hard to say how it will be, as we've only had two tests so far in Malaysia and Qatar," he said. presented his view in a double interview with Kevin Schwantz on the official website MotoGP.com.
“From my perspective and from the team’s point of view, the engine we tested was good on both tracks, but we still don’t have any information about the other racetracks. First impressions were definitely good. And I think that this engine, viewed as a whole package, can be a positive story this year, " he adds Kidneys.
Compared to last season Rinse managed to improve by three to four tenths of a second per lap: “And Kevin certainly knows how hard that is to achieve. Suzuki did a really good job in the preseason. "
This is the opinion of the 1993 world champion, Kevin schwantz: “Development depends entirely on communication between Alex, his chief technician, and Japanese engineers. After all, in Japan, they have to build on what the racer tells them. Suzuki proved last year that it can fight for the very top. With even more confidence in the team and on the bike, I think Alex has a chance to win every race. " Of course, the season is long and a lot can always happen.
Therefore Schwantz Rins and team Suzuki advises: “You have to avoid mistakes and keep a sober head every racing weekend. You have to be aware that if you don't have what it takes to win, it's still extremely important to score as many points as possible. "
