Alex Rins struck by 'painful' stone at Qatar MotoGP

Then came what he would later describe൲ on social media as a "huge stone impact" on his arm.

"I had a better start than [the Sprint], but it was still a t𒅌oug♛h race, especially because I was hit by a stone in the middle of the straight on lap 7,” Rins said.

“It really hurt, to the point that I di🐭d think about going into the box because it was really painful.

“But I gave it everything.”

Rins foun𝔉d himself back in 15th with five laps to go, as he fought with Enea Bastianini and Ai Ogura.

Despite the arm pain, Rins regrouped in the final l🌟aps, pouncing for 14th, then hunting 🎐down Brad Binder to snatch 13th in the final sector.

“Ogura was doing his race, but I was stuck🌟 behind him📖,” Rins said.

“Wh🍌en he made a mistake, I overtook him, and luckily also Binder in the second-last corner, so I still finished P13.

“It later became P12 after the penꦍalty handed 𓄧to Maverick [Vinales]."

Team director Massimo Meregalli praised Rins’ determination: “Alex was in pain, which for sure didn't hꦗelp him, but he rallied.”

Team-mate Fabio Quartararo, who qualified on the front row, finished in seventh place after t♌he demotion of Vinales.
