It’s December 28, 2022, and besides being one of the handful of days in between the Christmas and New Year celebrations, it’s also a day for pranks in some countries. In Spain and a number of Latin American countries, it’s celebrated as Día de los Santos Inocentes, or Day of the Innocent Saints. Another name for it is Día de las Bromas, or Day of Jokes—and that’s why we’re talking about it today.
Leave it to MotoGP racer Álex Rins to come up with the bittersweet joke to end all jokes for the December 28 celebration of pranks in 2022. As you may recall, Rins officially raced with Team Ecstar Suzuki from 2017 to 2022 in the premier class of international motorcycle racing. In 2020, Rins took third place in the MotoGP World Championship, while teammate Joan Mir won the riders' championship that year, an unforgettable achievement for the factory Suzuki team.
