Monster Energy Yamaha has hired Álex Rins for the 2024 MotoGP season, adding someone with previous experience on other bikes – specifically, Suzuki and Honda – alongside Fabio Quartararo.
Massimo Meregalli, Yamaha’s managing director, told GPOne.com that this experience is important, but it is also important to gather the riders’ feelings and comparisons in the initial stages:
– It is important, but the riders adapt so quickly that you have to quickly obtain their impressions after the first rides. Especially in Valencia, we tried to understand his feelings. However, he gave us a lot of information that the engineers need to improve the bikes.
