What happened to Alex Rins? It was a common question after 2021, where the super-talented Spaniard's seemingly inexorable ride to the top of MotoGP was derailed by broken bodywork and early baths. Fifth overall in 2018, he was fourth in 2019 and third a year later. In 2021? He didn’t even see the chequered flag in one-third of the races …
Rins is way better than the 13th overall he ended up in last season, and his CV proves it. A winner in all three world championship categories, he's beaten the best at their best, so talent isn’t the issue. But riding for the manufacturer with the fewest bikes on the grid means every stumble comes with a brighter spotlight.
As a two-time winner in Australia and at a circuit that should suit the sweet-handling GSX-RR, Rins will be keenly packing his bags for an October date with the Island.
