Suzuki’s Spanish MotoGP rider Alex Rins revealed on Thursday the injury that ruled him out of his home Catalan grand prix this month was caused by riding his bicycle into a van while messaging on a mobile phone.
“Normally I’m not playing with the mobile when I’m on my bicycle unless I’m writing an important message,” the 25-year-old told reporters at the Sachsenring after being cleared to return at Sunday’s German Grand Prix.
