Alex Rins has achieved today his first podium in the Moto3 World Championship after finishing third in the Grand Prix of France. It was a spectacular podium after what happened on the day before while he suffered a small fracture in his little finger of his right hand, started from 26th, and finished 3rd. Sadly his teammate Oliveira who started from 3rd place, couldn't get points on this race.
Alex Rins
"I still do not think so. It was an unexpected result because we have left in position 26. I started with the aim of enjoying the race and do my best. During the race several riders have fallen and this has allowed me to go up positions and motivate me even more, and finally, I could finish third which is a great result. The hand did not bother me much, yesterday I broke my little finger but before the race I have done an infiltration and I could go without many problems. "
Miguel Oliveira:
"I've done everything we asked. At the start of the race we would have taken very calm and the weather conditions were very difficult for everybody. I was following the first. This was our plan but I've been falling Faubel just up ahead. My goal was still to maintain my own pace but the fall has truncated the entire race. The conditions were really bad and that is hold off on the bike was the one who would win. And so it proved. I want to apologize to my team and I think did not deserve this."
