OPINION: On paper, Alex Rins’ maiden season with Yamaha has been a disaster, plagued by injury and struggling to get up to speed on an underperforming bike.
The doubts generated by Alex Rins’ performances since his return from a badly broken leg at this year's Mugello round contrast the confidence placed in him by Yamaha; which signed the Spaniard while out injured and has redoubled its bet by renewing him until 2026 despite still being troubled by injuries.
Rins has a strong supporter in Quartararo at Yamaha and given, on paper, he would be the first who wants to beat him as a team-mate, it adds weight to his point: “What does Yamaha see in Alex? Well, six wins, podiums and a third place in the 2020 world championship. In addition, he is a fast rider, one of the fastest, although in recent years he has not had too much luck because he has gone through major injuries.
