Álex Rins blames Nakagami for both incidents and has lashed out at the stewards, who they did not apply sanctions when considering the facts a career set, for which he considers excessive permissiveness.

Alex Rins He could not hide his anger after learning of the decision of the race direction: «First of all I hope that Nakagami is fine, but what he has done is very wrong. It is unacceptable and inadmissible to have the Commissioners that we have. That there is no future action on the incident is very strong. I don’t know what they were based on. Livio Suppo has been to talk to them. What they have shown is that they do not have the level to be in the MotoGP championship. Until something big happens nothing will happen. They have left me without options for the championship, and Pecco too.
