Rins: Yamaha MotoGP bike “very different” to the Suzuki
Alex Rins joined LCR Honda in 2023 after Suzuki left MotoGP, but he felt undervalued by Honda and broke his two-year deal to join Yamaha for 2024. After a second surgery on his leg, Rins returned to race at the Valencia Grand Prix and participated in a test on the Yamaha M1. He completed 54 laps and finished 19th, 1.3 seconds behind the fastest time. Rins commented that the Yamaha M1 is different from the Suzuki, but he felt comfortable on the bike and found it to be smoother than expected. He also noted that the biggest difference between inline four bikes and V4 bikes is in the aerodynamics.
