Rins confirmed that he will leave LCR Honda after just one season to join Yamaha in 2024, replacing Franco Morbidelli as the teammate of Fabio Q✤uartararo.

The Spaniard has🍎 now revealed his unhappiness at not being treated similarly to Honda’s factor𓄧y duo Marquez and Mir.

"What has weighed the ꧑most is what has been seen race by race,” Rins told DAZN.ꦦ 

“In the end, Honda, HRC have preferred to give🐻 the factory team the new parts to test even though I am a꧅lso a competitive rider. 

“Well, I would ha𒐪v♔e liked them to have given me a little bit more support.

"I'm sorry because the relationship with Lucio Cecchinello is spectacular, I've ne🐬ver had it before with any other team manager and the vibes in the box are immaculate. 

“I thought abo🀅ut whether to do it or not, but I couldn't refuse. 

“I𒐪 told Lucio I even felt bad, it was a hard blow but he told me that he understood perfectly. 

“I꧙t's a unique 🐓opportunity, it's a factory team and I think it's something I deserve.

"After so many b﷽ad days, the announcement to sign for Yamaha has been incredible. I am very happy. 

“After Suzuki left, we were lost, we knocked on all the doors and one of the doors we knocked on was Yamaha and they told us that that moment couldn't be, they already had Morbidelli and Quart🎃araro. 

“So in the end we went to Honda, and this year seeing how everythingꦑ has gone, in the position we were in... we asked again to see if we'd have any luck, 🔜and we did.

"I'm looking forward to it. It's a project in a factoꩲry team, which is what I was looking for and I'm very excited, but I'm e♈nding this season with the same enthusiasm I started it with."

A rollercoaster half-season so far has seen Rins win the Grand Prix of the Americas, becoming the first Honda rider aside from Marque🔯z to win a MotoGP rac🐼e since 2018.

But he then broke a leg d🔯uring the Mugello sprint race, and he remains sidelined amid a gruelling recovery period.

At the British MotoGP, LCR duo Takaaki Nakagam💫i and Iker Lecuona were th🐽e last two riders who finished the race. Repsol Honda pair Marquez and Joan Mir retired early, meaning they have completed just one grand prix between them all season.

Honda’s struggles will not be ♏Rins’ problem for mu🍃ch longer.

"The Honda is not a bad bike, I think that the other brands, especially European one🙈s, have taken two steps forward and Honda only a small one,” he said.

“To get the victory in Austin we rode ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚsuper-fast. We still need to improve, yes, but it's not so far away.”

He said about sustaining his horrible injury in Italy: "The crash was my faul🧔t, not the 𝓰electronics or the traction control of the Honda. 

"I am getting better every day, what hurts me the least is the injury itself, the double fracture of the tibia and fibula does not bother me much. Today is 6 weeks after the operation and it is the first day that they let me rest my foot.&🦄nbsp;

“What hurts the most, what doesn't let me sleep… is the sole of my foot. I guess it's from the injury and a lot of 🌌contact… I have hypersensitivity from the tips of ജmy toes to where the heel begins and intense cramps in the soles, but it's getting better.

"I suffered much more pain the first 24 hours after the second operation than in the actual crash itself. They gave me an epidural, and 4 hours after going up f🉐rom the operating room, my ba♉d leg woke up and the good one was still asleep. 

“I cried from the pain, I've never felt pain so sharp pain an🦩d it was all coming from the cram🦂ps. It was terrible pain.

"In the end, if it's a clean🍎 tear, it's much faster, but everything turned out great anyway. The Madrid team has done an incredible job, they were afraid that since the tear was so low, near the ankle, they could lose mobility, but luckily it went well.”

Rins said about his co෴meback plan: “I don't know when I will be able to return, it is very difficult. Today I have started bearing weꦇight and as the days go by we will see how it progresses. 

“It's a complicated injury, there were many hours in the operating room b🐽ecause it was as if the bone had exploded, so the recovery is slow. I'll be back when they let me."
