Rins: Yamaha MotoGP bike “very different” to the Suzuki
Alex Rins joined LCR Honda in 2023 after Suzuki decided to leave MotoGP. Although he won a race for Honda in 2023, Rins felt unappreciated and broke his two-year contract to join Yamaha in 2024. After recovering from a leg injury, Rins returned to racing at the Valencia Grand Prix and participated in a test on the Yamaha M1. He completed 54 laps and found the bike to be different from the Suzuki, but he was comfortable and satisfied with the test. Rins noted that the biggest difference between inline four bikes and V4 bikes is the aerodynamics, which affect turning and wheelies.
