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 Q꧟ataꦺr MotoGP round last season after suffering an injury-hit year with LCR Honda.

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

Now at Yamaha alongside 2021 world champion Fabio Quartararo, Rins could be a dark horse to claim si𓄧milar results.

Rins is still in a battle with Maverick Vinales and Jack Mi🐽ller to become the first MotoGP rider to win with three different brands.

But to do so, Rins admits he still needs to adapt fꦉurther to the M1 🌸machine.

“This new chapter with Yamaha officially starts this weekend,” began Rins. “I've stayed on in Qatar afte🐼r the test because the weather predictions were not so good for where I live, and I w♈anted 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 can achieve this week🔜end.

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

Yamaha did not make the steps forwar🌟d in testing that they would have ༺hoped for.

Bothꦇ Rins and Quartararo were pleased with the over𓆏all package, but it’s clear that the pair expected 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. “We 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 'diff♚erent-from-the-usual' schedule again so we can race after sunset, which further adds to Lusail's unique atmosphere.

“We already had a little taster of what could be possible in this upcoming round ♌duri♛ng 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 le𝓡vel of our competition is like, the races will show how the ca꧂rds have been dealt this season.

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