"Anyway, I think 𓆉we tried most things today, including a new swingarm that I was 𒈔very consistent with. In the acceleration areas and long corners it is more stable."
Rins, ju𝓀st one point behind title leader Marc Marquez, set the eighth-fastest lap having skipped a time attack.
"I did not put any soft tyres. We just focused on the rhythm, with the different swingarm and a lot of things on the elᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚectronics. Not a lot of setup work. I’m quite hap𝓡py because sincerely lap-by-lap I've been very constant, ‘38.0, it was easy.
