Site analysis: The Suzuki Boys put on a show during the Italian Grand Prix, battling fairing against fairing for the podium against Crutchlow, Petrucci and Rossi. The Yamaha rider, as an old man, finally capped all these beautiful people at the post to win the game by giving himself 110% !

As for his young teammate Alex Rins, his performance at Mugello is timely to reassure his employer. The young Spaniard has already crashed three times in six races – at, at and at – which does not fail to raise concerns about his abilities to become Suzuki’s No.1 rider in 2019….
Alex Rins – 11th in the provisional with one – has in any case the speed necessary to dearly defend the colors of the Hamamatsu coat of arms: without the pain associated with his fall in free practice, the podium was potentially within the reach of the n ° 42.
