Alex Rins identifies key weakness to rescue flailing MotoGP form
Factory Yamaha rider Alex Rins is focusing on improving his qualifying form for the MotoGP Austrian Grand Prix after struggling in the first half of the season. Yamaha has shown significant progress in 2025 compared to the previous season, with pole positions and podium finishes in both sprints and grands prix. However, only Fabio Quartararo, the 2021 world champion, has achieved these results consistently. Rins has only managed one top 10 finish in the opening 12 grands prix and is aiming to address his qualifying weaknesses. Rins acknowledges the importance of improving his starting position, especially in a challenging circuit like Spielberg with its eleven-corner layout and hard braking zones. Meanwhile, Quartararo, leading Yamaha in points, is prepared to give his best effort for the busy second half of the season and will continue working on enhancing both his strengths and weaknesses in the upcoming races.
