Alex Rins and LCR Honda Wins at GP of The Americas 2023

17 Apr 2023 Newsletter, MotoGP 2023, LCR Honda Castrol, Alex Rins, motogp [Sassy_Social_Share]

Alex Rins and LCR Honda Castrol scored an emphatic victory at the Grand Prix of The Americas. It was the first victory for the new Rins and LCR Honda Castrol pairing, which is just their third race together. Additionally, it was the first victory for a Honda in the 2023 MotoGP season.

Rins had thrown down the gauntlet early by recording the 3rd fastest time in the first two combined practice sessions on Friday. “I’m pleased after today’s result; I’ve felt comfortable on the bike I’ve always liked this track, and even though there are still some areas to improve, we’ve confirmed our step forward. I want to thank the team for their job,” said the Spanish rider.

That achievement put him directly through to Q2 (Qualifying 2) for Saturday.

Continuing his great form, he then qualified for the 2nd spot on the starting grid. And it was not just a flash in the pan, either, because Rins kept the momentum going by finishing 2nd in the Tissot Sprint Race later in the day, awarding the LCR Honda Castrol team’s first podium in the last 4 years. It was also the team’s 100th podium of all time.

Come Race Day on Sunday, Rins did not let poleman and race leader Francesco “Pecco” Bagnaia escape this time and trailed him closely. Rins kept pushing Bagnaia until he went wide and lost the front of his Ducati. It was the second crash in two races for Bagnaia.

Rins then controlled the pace from the front of the race, leaving Luca Marini and Fabio Quartararo to fight it out for the 2nd and 3rd places on the podium.

Rins’ victory allayed fears that the rider could not accustom himself to the characteristics of the Honda RC213V, after being on the Suzuki GSX-RR for many years. His skill and determination also shined through despite all Honda riders found the bike difficult to ride.

    IMPORTANT GIVI RACKING SYSTEM INFORMATION:

    In order to protect the user and avoid damage to the original structure of the motorcycle, we would like to point out the following. Our product is the result of the assembly of various components. Therefore, the welded points and bends, as well as the different motorcycle chassis can cause assembly difficulties. For the correct fitting procedure, we suggest you rely on qualified personnel and to check carefully that the kit components do not interfere negatively or contact with the original parts of the motorcycle (Frame, Silencers, Shock Absorbers, etc.). We will not be responsible for damages caused by incorrect assembling due to poor fitting by a non-qualified person or mechanic. The warranty covers exclusively the replacement or articles from the product range, which would present defects prior to final assembly.

    Suggested fitting sequence: –

    • Fit the supports and the corresponding kit screws (without tightening them) according to the sequence suggested in the mounting instruction.
    • Centre all fitting kit items and check that they do not interfere negatively or contact with the original parts of the motorcycle.
    • Tighten the screw sequentially and check their tension periodically.
    • In case the kit is not complete or you find that you have a faulty component, do not hesitate to get in touch with your dealer or directly with the producer. Please avoid using unsuitable parts.
