Last year’s Phillip Island winner for Suzuki, Rins was the fastest Honda rider, in 12th, on Friday, when he also walked away✨ from an accident.

The pain is not thought to be related to that spill, with Rins pre⭕viously speaking of nerve issues during his recovery from the fractured tibia and fibula suffered at Mugello in May.

Rins will now undergo ꩵscans to try and determine the source of his ongoing leg pain.

The LCR rider, winner at COTA this year, comp𒁏leted his first grand prix since the accident in 14th place at Mandalika last weekend.

The Spaniard’s withdraw from Phi♊llip Island means that, after 16 rounds, MotoGP still hasn’t had a single race featuring the full 22-r🦹ider line-up.

At least one rider had been sidelined by injury since Pol Espargaro’s accident in practic𝓡e for the Portimao season opener.

Rins is switching to🎶 the Monster Yamaha team next season and is due to make his M1 debut at next month’s Valencia post-season test.

Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injurꦕy issues.
