168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Franco Morbidelli’s VR46 manager Gianluca Falcioni expressed confidence that both sides were “lꦗooking for a continuation” before the summer break, but rumours are growing that Alex Rins has also moved into contention.

Rins is at the start of a two-year HRC dealꦯ with the LCR team but – like many riders placed at a satellite team, including Pramac's Jorge Martin – is thought to have a ‘get out’ clause fo𓃲r 2024 if he is offered a rival factory seat.

While the Spaniard broke Honda’s win drought with a shock victory at COTA, his next best finish is jꦚust ninth place and Rins has been openly disappointed to lag far behind the official Repsol team when it comes to new parts such as the Kalex chassis.

Although Yamaha is currently the only manufacturer below Honda in the con♎structors’ standings, a switch would not on𒈔ly restore Rins to full factory status but put him back on the kind of inline engine configuration with which he won five races for Suzuki.

L🅷ike Morbidelli, Rins also has extensive MotoGP experience. That's the most important factor for Quartararo, given that there will once again be only two Yamahas on next year's grid.

: "It's clear to me that R🔜ins 🥀will ride for Yamaha next year.”

Rins is currently sidelined by a broken leg at Mugello with his MotoGP return date still 🌼to be confirmed.

Should former title runner-up Morbidelli leave Yamaha h🔜e is expected to find a satellite Ducati seat, either at VR46's own team or Gresini.
