Alex Rins to attempt MotoGP return at Motegi
Alex Rins, the former Suzuki rider, has received permission from his doctors in Madrid to travel to Japan despite complications from nerve pain in his recovery. Upon arriving in Japan, Rins stated on social media that his bone is regenerating and his recovery is progressing, so he will attempt to ride a MotoGP bike to assess how he feels. However, Rins, who still uses a crutch to walk, must pass a medical check on Thursday in order to participate in the Motegi event. Rins broke Honda’s victory drought at COTA but has only managed a ninth-place finish in his other races this season. Disappointed with the limited upgrades compared to the Repsol team, Rins signed with Monster Yamaha during the summer break, making Motegi his only Japanese Grand Prix with Honda. If Rins is unable to compete, HRC test rider Stefan Bradl is likely to replace him once again.
