After having been paired with Franco Morbidelli in recent years, Fabio Quartararo will have a new teammate at Monster Energy Yamaha for the 2024 MotoGP season – Álex Rins, coming from LCR Honda.
The Spaniard already has extensive experience, having ridden for Suzuki and LCR Honda. Quartararo showed excitement about the #42 arrival, stating to Motorsport.com: ‘Álex will be the only rider who has ridden three different bikes in three years. He competed with Suzuki last year, with Honda this year, and next year, he’ll do it with Yamaha. He will have gone from an inline-four engine to a V4, and then back to another inline-four’.
The 2021 world champion emphasized the importance of Rins’ feedback: ‘Álex’s information will be very important for us. Knowing how he handles the Honda and how he did it with Suzuki. I have an endless number of questions for him’.
