Wrong tyre choices leave Michael Rinaldi on jus𒁏t nine points following the openi𒉰ng WorldSBK round of 2021. 

Rinaldi took his maiden WorldSBK win and podiums during last year’s second Mo👍torLand Aragon weekend, but the Italian was unable to replicate similar form on his factory debut. 

Rinaldi’s best result of the weekend was a seventh in Saturday’s ꧟race one, however, a wrong call on tyres saw the 25 year-old finish over a minute down on team-mate and race two winner Scott Redding.

Rinaldi alluded to needing a better understanding in situations like Suꦑnday with changing conditions, as race two was ‘one of the worst🦩 races of my career’ said the Italian. 

"In these circumstances, you have to know how to evaluate the situatio▨n and make the 🅷right choice," said Rinaldi. 

"Today I made the wrong choice and, as a rဣesult, I had one of the worst races of my career.  Last year I came away from Aragon with 3 podiums; this year with only 9 points. 

"This means that we have to find the feeling that we have been missing. The motivation is not lacking and I will try, 💛together with the team, to turn the🤪 page from the next race."

Next up for Rinalid is a trip to Estoril where he claimed three top ten finishes to conclude 2020. The new Aruba.it Ducati rider currently sits tent🎉h in the championship standings - 48 points behind Jonathan Rea.
