Alex Rins says he faced doubts by those around him after a tough few years at Yamaha
Alex Rins expressed that his podium charge at the MotoGP Indonesian Grand Prix felt like a return to the “old times” with Suzuki, acknowledging that some people around him had lost faith in his abilities. Despite being on the soft rear tyre due to Yamaha’s struggles with the medium, he achieved his best qualifying since 2023 but finished 10th after a drop in performance. This result was his best since the German Grand Prix, marking just his second top 10 finish of the season. Although the race was tough, Rins found joy in the weekend, reminiscent of his Suzuki days, and highlighted his strong defensive and overtaking skills. Despite doubts from others, Rins never stopped believing in himself and aims to continue proving his competitiveness in future races like the upcoming one in Australia.
