It’s already this weekend, at the Qatar GP, that Álex Rins will compete in his first race as a Monster Energy Yamaha rider in MotoGP. Confident and ready, the rider begins a new chapter in his career, riding for the third different manufacturer.
The Spaniard stated before the Losail race: ‘I’m feeling very good, very good. We spent a few days here in Qatar; after the test I stayed here, my family came, so we spent good quality time. Training, focusing on the first GP weekend, and I’m really excited to finally start this new adventure with Yamaha officially. Let’s see how it goes. We will give 100 percent. The tests were good, we improved the bike a bit compared to last year. Overall, we still have to improve the bike, the tuning, several small things to improve. But we are on the right track‘.
Concernant son état physique, Rins a déclaré que, sur la moto, il ne ressent aucun problème : ‘Physiquement, je me sens très bien. Je suis très à l’aise sur la moto et je ressens très peu de douleurs – presque rien. En revanche, en marchant et autres activités, c’est plus difficile, je ressens plus de douleurs. Peut-être à cause des vis, de l’opération. Mais, en général, je peux dire que je suis peut-être à 100 pour cent’.
