The winner of Austin declared that he was "fairly comfortable" for the day of the race at Jerez, knowing that he had a pace similar to that of his future winner, Marc Marquez.

But Rins admitted that overtaking riders, especially Andrea Dovizioso's Ducati, cost him too much time.

"We had an incredible race, and before the race began, the whole team and I knew that the pace was more or less the same as Marc's," said Rins. "I was pretty comfortable.

"What is unique is that I needed to try to overtake quickly and I lost a lot of time with Dovizioso.The Ducati bike brakes very hard and its acceleration is rather pleasant.

"Anyway, I doubled the riders and I did a lot of tricks in front of Marc with Marc, waiting to wait if he made mistakes.

"But anyway, the second position was incredible for us."
