Alex Rins is hopeful that if he can fix his poor qualifying performances, then better race results will come in the second half of the season.

Heading into the second half of the 2025 MotoGP World Championship, Alex Rins has had time to reflect on the 12 races from the first half of the season.

The Monster Energy Yamaha rider has had a difficult start to the year, as he has only featured inside the top ten in one Grand Prix.

After looking back on the opening portion of the season, Rins has highlighted his poor qualifying results as a major factor that he must improve in the second portion of the season.

The Spaniard is hopeful that if he can work on his qualifying performances, his race results will improve in what could be a crucial time for his career.

"I had a good summer break, some time to recharge, train, and prepare for the second half of the season," Rins said.

"Like I said in Brno, improving qualifying is a priority for us, so that's one of the areas we'll concentrate on this weekend.

"Other than that, Spielberg has an eleven-corner layout with hard braking zones, so braking stability and acceleration will be other key areas that are especially important this weekend."

Rins finds himself 18th in the MotoGP World Championship, with a best result of tenth place at the German Grand Prix. But he has had an eighth-place finish in the Sprint Race at the French Grand Prix.

However, current speculation surrounds Rins' future in the MotoGP World Championship as rumours suggest that he could lose his spot in the factory Yamaha squad at the end of the 2025 season.
