Alex Rins says he was “surprised” Yamaha decided his MotoGP future after just three races on the new V4.
Alex Rins expressed surprise at Yamaha’s decision regarding his MotoGP future after only three rounds with the new V4 machine. Despite being a race winner for Suzuki and LCR Honda, Rins faced challenges following serious leg injuries post-COTA victory. Yamaha, in a rebuilding phase like Honda, introduced a new V4-powered machine for 2024 but is yet to see the desired results. Rins, who earned points in two of the first three rounds on the new V4, was informed of losing his Yamaha seat before the Spanish Grand Prix. Despite the setbacks, Rins remains motivated and committed to giving his best in the face of changing perceptions in MotoGP and challenges with different bike models. He emphasized that despite the difficulties in recent years, he remains the same competitive Alex Rins who has achieved victories and podium finishes in the past.
