Alex Rins has spoken of the chance he had to go to Gresini for the 2023 MotoGP season
Yamaha’s Alex Rins had an offer from Gresini Ducati for the 2023 season after Suzuki left MotoGP, but he chose Honda in the end. Rins and his Suzuki teammate Joan Mir had to find new teams in a limited market after the Suzuki withdrawal. Both Rins and Mir ended up with Honda contracts, with Rins joining LCR’s factory team and Mir moving to the works squad. Eventually, Rins switched to Yamaha due to a lack of support from Honda after an injury-marred season. Despite having an offer from Gresini Ducati, Rins chose LCR Honda for the factory rider conditions and support. Rins’ decision potentially impacted future scenarios, including Marc Marquez not joining Gresini in 2024.
