Alex Rins has revealed he already knows Yamaha is dropping him – and he’s not happy
“Alex Rins has been informed that he is out of the Yamaha MotoGP team for 2027 and has shared some insights on his perspective regarding the decision and his future. Ai Ogura from Trackhouse Aprilia is reportedly set to partner with Jorge Martin in the factory Yamaha team for the upcoming season. Yamaha has refrained from making an official announcement, likely due to negotiations with MotoGP and Liberty Media regarding the financial agreement with manufacturers. Rins confirmed that he was informed about the team’s decision by Yamaha team manager Massimo Meregalli prior to the news becoming public. He expressed disappointment at the timing of the decision, believing that he has not been given sufficient time to showcase his potential with the new V4 engine. Despite lingering concerns about a past leg injury, Rins maintains that he is fully recovered and capable of performing at his best. While his future in MotoGP remains uncertain, he seems skeptical about the possibility of moving to the satellite Pramac squad or transitioning to World Superbike, emphasizing his belief in his potential to succeed in the MotoGP championship.”
