In 2024, Yamaha will have concessions in MotoGP, under the new system announced on Monday. Therefore, they will have more opportunities to test, but for now there is no defined schedule yet.
Álex Rins explained to the press that, for now, it is certain that he will ride in the shakedown at Sepang in February: ‘They are working on this plan. I will definitely do the shakedown. More days to test means more things to test, so it’s good‘.
However, the 22-round calendar limits the available dates for testing during the season, something that the Spanish rider commented on: ‘Maybe at the shakedown, I don’t know. My wife is not happy [laughs], less time at home. But I think she doesn’t know yet that I’m going to the shakedown‘.
Nevertheless, Rins assured that he has no problems: ‘I’m feeling good, because this gives me the opportunity to be more prepared for the new season‘.
