Alex Rins is confident he will finally be able to ride ‘pain free’ during his LCR Honda farewell at this weekend’s Valencia MotoGP.
Alex Rins, the Spanish MotoGP rider, has switched teams to Monster Yamaha for the 2024 season. However, he has been informed that it may take until March or April of next year for his leg fractures to fully heal. Rins sustained these injuries at the Mugello race in June and had to undergo further surgery due to ongoing pain. Despite this setback, Rins recently tested his right leg during a track day in Barcelona and experienced no pain. Although his leg may not fully recover until the next season opener in Qatar, Rins is optimistic about his progress and is excited for the upcoming test next week. This will be the third different MotoGP bike he has ridden in just over a year.
