Alex Rins on Yamaha’s MotoGP struggles: “We can do one crazy lap, but…”
Double COTA MotoGP winner Alex Rins gets edge ꦰgrip comparison behind Marc Marquez.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Rins returns to the scene of his most recent MotoGP victory ♑as the world championship moves to COTA in Aust෴in, Texas this weekend.
🐎That triumph, the sixth of Rins’ premier-class career, came during a lone 2023 season with LCR Honda, helping him secure a factory seat at Yamaha for 2024.
However, Yamaha endured its worst season of the MotoGP er꧃a, finishing without a single podium while Rins went trophy-less for the first time since his 2017 Suzuki debut.
🌳Rins then entered 2025 with higher expectations for his second season aboard the M1.
But despite promising winter testing at Sepang,꧃ Yamaha ℱhas slipped behind Honda to last in the early constructors’ standings.
“In these [low grip] condit✅ions, Honda is one step ahead of us right now,” Rinꦉs admitted in Argentina.
Since 2021, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo has 🉐been Yamaha’s undisputed leader but the arrival of Rins and new Pramac Yamaha rec🎃ruits Jack Miller and Miguel Oliveira is providing more insight into the bike’s potential.
“There is a lot of potential in the bike💃,” Rins said. “Jack 🦄adapted [to it] super fast.”
“We can do one crazy lap”
While the latest Yamaha has shown improved one-lap speed in qualifying, Rins 1ℱ68澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:echoed the frustrations of Quartararo regarding race pace.
“We have a limitation, which is grip. We can do one crazy lap but in terms o♚f pace, it’s quite🧔 difficult to maintain. The drop is quite high,” Rins explained.
The M1’s edge grip deficit was underlined when Rins followed Ducati title leader Marc Marqu▨ez during practice in A🍒rgentina.
“When I followed Marc, I was struggling with the same issues I’d been complaining about,” Rins explain𒁃ed.
“You can see that Marc, all the Ducatis, have more edg🔜e grip than us. And this is something we need to fix.”
Rins starts round three of the season 16꧂th in the world championship, with his 5 points to date from an eleventh place in the Argentine Gra👍nd Prix.
Miller is the leading Yamaha rider in 13th (8 points) with Quarta🐻raro directly ahead of Rins with 6 points.
