RINS

DOB : 1995-12-08 Birthplace : BARCELONA Height : 176 CM Weight : 72 KG
Rins has always been a fast learner . As well as taking pole position at just his second ever GP in 2012 , he came within a corner of winning the Moto3™ world title the following year . What ’ s more , he was on the podium in just his second ever Moto2™ race before pushing eventual champion Johann Zarco hardest throughout 2015 . Rins ’ MotoGP™ debut followed suit . After overcoming a wrist injury in early 2017 , he scored five podiums in 2018 , while he added three more – including memorable wins in Texas and Great Britain – in 2019 . A dislocation-fracture of his right shoulder in the first race of 2020 plagued his campaign . But Rins showed remarkable grit to win the Aragon GP in October and finish third in the championship . He has the potential to win races and fight for the championship but has been so inconsistent , crashing out of four races in a row before carelessly breaking a bone in his wrist in a bizarre cycling accident , which forced him to miss the Barcelona race . Having healed up over summer , he should be a force at the front of races once again .
