Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP's Álex Rins engaged in battle at the Autodromo del Mugello's, trying to snatch P12 during the Gran Premio d'Italia Sprint. He ultimately crossed the finish line in 13th place. Fabio Quartararo was unlucky to be involved in a crash with another rider on lap 2, ending his chances to fight for points.
Rins began the Sprint from P10 but fell back to 17th on the opening lap. Three crashes on the second lap and another on lap 8 saw him move up to 13th. Meanwhile, the Spaniard was riding right behind Jack Miller, keen to find a way through. On lap 9, the number-42 made his first attempt, but it didn't stick. He gave it another go at the start of the last lap, but again he couldn't hold on to the position. He ended the Sprint in 13th place, 14.137s from first.
Quartararo started from P15 and, after a busy opening sector in the mid-pack, emerged in 14th place. However, on the second lap he was overtaken by Marco Bezzecchi, and the setbacks continued. A collision in Turn 10 between Miguel Oliveira and El Diablo ended both riders' efforts prematurely.
Today's results see Quartararo remain in 12th place in the overall standings with 32 points. Rins stays in 21st position with 7 points. Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP keep their 9th place in the team championship with 39 points, and Yamaha hold onto 4th position in the constructor’s championship with 35 points.
On the Italian GP Sunday, the teammates will start the track action with the Warm Up held from 09:40 - 09:50 (GMT +2), followed by the 23-lap Race, which starts at 14:00.
