After pre-season tests in Sepang and Lusail, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Rins will make his official Yamaha MotoGP debut this weekend.

Rins missed out on 🅷the Qatar MotoGP round last season after suffering an injury-hit year with LCR Honda.

Despite making only♉ seven appearances throughout the season, Rins was still able to win after taking Honda to𝔉 victory at COTA.

Now at Yamaha alongside 2021🌱 world champion Fabio Qua♒rtararo, Rins could be a dark horse to claim similar results.

Rins is still in a battle with Maverick Vinales and Jack Miller to become the firs✃t MotoGP rider to win with three different brands.

But to do so, Rins admits he still needs to adapt further to the M1 ma🧸chine.

“This new chapter with Yamaha officially starts this weekend,” began Rins. “I've stayed on in Qatar after the test because the weather predictions were not so good for where I live, and I wanted to be able to train as much as possible🅠 and to be in race mode as early as possible.

“I am super motivated and in general quite curious to see what we c🏅an achieve this weekend.

“It's a relatively new bike and new team, and I didn't race in Qatar last year, which was resurfaced and rebuiꦜlt since 2022, so I know I will have to take a bit of time to adapt, but more important💖ly, I'm just excited to get started.”

Yamaha did not make the steps for🍌ward in testing that they would have hoped for.

Both Rins and Quartararo were pleased with the overall package, but it’s clear that the pair expect🔯ed more as a significant gap remains to the likes of Ducati, KTM 🐼and Aprilia.

“After the short winter break, we reached the time to finally start racing again,” said Team Director Massimo Meregalli. “𝓀We are back in Qatar for GP1. Starting the season here again under the floodlights is nice.

“This, of course, means that we will have a 'different-from-the-usual' schedule again so we can race after sunset, w𒁏hich further adds to Lusail's unique atmosphere.

“We already had a little taster of wh💟at could be possible in this upcoming round during the Qatar Test, and we will commence FP1 based on what we have learned there.

“Even though we have a general feeling of what the performance le꧑vel of our competition is like, the races will show how the cards have been dealt this season.

“T𝓰hough the off-season was relatively short, we, as MotoGP enthusiasts, have all been impati♕ent to start the 2024 rounds. We can't wait to be back in action!”
