MotoGP™ careers can take a turn for the better – or worse – in a heartbeat, a moment in time that can make or break what comes next. The Italian Grand Prix of 2023 was that moment for Alex Rins; what came before it explains why Yamaha signed him for two more years after 2024 barely got off the ground.

Rins badly shattered his right leg in the Mugello sprint two seasons ago, three rounds after he’d taken a remarkable win for LCR Honda in his third race with the team, a stunning result that remains Honda’s most recent success.

Since, it’s been a constant battle with recurring injuries and recoveries that saw the multiple race-winner earn just two top-10 results in 2024.

When fully fit, Rins is much, much better than that, and a key asset as Yamaha aims at the 2027 regulatory reset to become a genuine contender once more.
