Alex Rins, entering his second season with Yamaha, says the Japanese marque will have a new engine, chassis, swingarm and fairing among other things to try th🎶is week at the Sepang shakedown and official tes♎t.

“It’s so difficult to say to you that we are going to fight for the victory from the f♉irst race, because it’s♉ not true,” he told mahbx.com.

“Right now, we🔜 have the potential to improve the bike. Yamaha worked really hard this winter.

“So, I’m really excജited tomorrow to jump on the bike for day two 🅷of the shakedown.

“They worked🐼 really hard. They’ve brought engine, chassis, swingarm, fairing, many items - all new. So, I’m quite impressed.

“We will do the back-to-back [in testing]. We will start with the standard𒈔 bike that we finished with in Montꦛmelo, but already with the new chassis that we tried at the test.

“So, that was our base bike. From that we will work on a new engine, new electron🃏ics, another new chassis. So, quite a busy winter it will be.”

Rins underwent surgery in December to have the leg he badly broke in 2023 evaluated, though says he is “feeling perfect” despite 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:attending Yamaha’s launch with a crutch.

“I make a surgery this December, to check how every𓆏thing was,” he said.

“The surgery was to see how the bone was recovering. They open, I had a little bit 🅺of bone because the tibia was not 100% healed.

“But, honestly, now it’s♔ two months and I’m feeling perfect, super good.

“Honestly same as before the surgery because before the sur💜gery I was good ⭕enough.

“So, now I am having this [crut𓃲ch] to remove a little bit of we๊ight from the leg because with all the metal I have inside - you remember I was working a little bit not perfect - so, this is because I have some pain in my ankle.

“I still have all th🍃e metal, so for this reason I h🐼ave this [crutch].

“But it’s not a problem to ride on the bike. I did a really good pre-season at home, training, ment💝al [preparation] also. I did four, five days on the R1 at Jerez and Almeria.🐎”
