🀅Alex Rins has returned to a MotoGP podium for the first time in 12 races after 💟coming from P10 to take second. 

Rins made early progress before a lengthy battle with team-mate Joan Mir and the Ducati’s of Jack Miller and France❀sco Bagnaia. 

But once the Spaniard got through and into fourth, a podium charge began as he reeled in bo♛th Espaไrgaro brothers. 

Rin♐s soon pas⛄sed Pol Espargaro for third, before Aleix made a mistake in turn five which allowed the Suzuki rider through. 

Rins was 🦩unable to do anything about race winner Fabio Quartararo’s three plus second advantage, however, the second place finish is a podium that’s been a long time coming based on his speed at times this season.  

"Yeah I’m super happy for this second position. I was checking the world standings and sincerely the first 🙈par🏅t of the championship we got a lot of zero’s, a lot of crashes," added Rins. 

"But yeah, finally I was saying ‘we have the level, we have the pace’ 𒈔and now we finish again on the top. 

"I’m super happy because starting from P10 is not easy, I was trying to overtake as soon as possible, you know. All the t💙eam deserves this position and also myself I think. 

"So let’s try to kee🐬p this performance because I think we c🐻an get it (win)." 

Rins’ podium cꩵould be the catalyst to a much better final few races as Aragon is up next - a circuit where he securedꦚ a win and P2 in 2020. 

Rins said: "I think we ca🌠n (continue the momentum) but it’s not easy because our competitors, our riva🏅ls are really strong.

"It’s true that the last two years we did a very great race here, also last year we did a very good result in Aragon; first and second 💧in the two💧 races but this year everything changes. 

"There 🌠are the Yamaha, Ducati, Aprilia and Honda that are quite strong🍃. So let’s see if we can continue in this shape."
