Yamaha struggles have left multiple MotoGP winner ‘feeling powerless’
Six-time MotoGP race winner Alex Rins has expressed feeling “quite powerless” as Yamaha has struggled to compete at the front in recent years. Rins joined Yamaha in 2024 after a challenging season with LCR Honda in 2023. Despite a surprise victory at the Americas Grand Prix, Rins has not returned to the podium since joining Yamaha. He finished 19th in the 2025 season, with his best result being seventh place. Rins, along with his struggling Yamaha colleagues, is finding the situation difficult to accept, emphasizing that their riding skills have not diminished. Yamaha is transitioning to a new V4 engine next season, focusing on development rather than immediate results.
