Alex Rins, entering his second season with Yamaha, says the Japanese marque will have a new engine, chassis,꧂ swingarm and fairiไng among other things to try this week at the Sepang shakedown and official test.

“It’s so difficult to say to you that we are going to fight for the victory from the first race, because i🥃t’s not true,” he told ltxcn.top.

“Right now, we have the poteꦕntial to improve the bike. Yamahꦍa worked really hard this winter.

“So, 😼I’m really excited tomorrow to jump on the bike for day♓ two of the shakedown.

“They worked really hard. They’ve brought engine, chassis, swingarm, fairing, many items - all new. 🧔So, I’m quite impressed.

“We will do the back-to-back [in testing]. We will start with the standard bike that we finished with in Montmelo, but already with the new chassis tha🦩t we tried at the test.

“So, that was our base bike. From that we will wꦜork on a new engine, new electronics, another new chassis🎉. So, quite a busy winter it will be.”

Rins underwent surgery in December to have the leg he badly broke in 2023 evaluated, though says he is “feeling perfect” despite 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:attending Yamaha’s launch with a crutch.

“I make a surgery this December, to check how e🤡verything was,” h🍸e said.

“The surgery was to see how the bone was recovering. They open, I had a little bit of bo꧒ne because the tibia was not 100% healed.

“But, honestly, now it’s two months and I’m feeling perfect, super goꩲod.

“Honestly same as before the surgery because before the surgery I wa💜s good enough.

“So, now I am having this [crut🍌ch] to remove a little bit of weight from the leg because with all the metal I have inside - you remember I was working a little bit not perfect - so, this is beca🦩use I have some pain in my ankle.

“I still have all the metal, so for this reason I hไa꧃ve this [crutch].

“But it’s not a problem to ride on the bike🅷. I did a really good pre-season at home, training, mental [preparation] also. I did four, five days on𝕴 the R1 at Jerez and Almeria.”
