Friday morning rain prevented any major setup experiments in FP1, but 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Rins is planning to try a “completely radical setting” on his Yamaha during this weekend’s Americas MotoGP.

After struggling in the opening rounds at Buriram and Termas, Rins believeജs h♈e needs to take his M1 in a new direction “to feel something” and find a breakthrough.

The Spaniard, a four-time COTA winner - including 🐽two MotoGP victories - arrives in Texas with a best finish of 11th so far this season.

“It's always nice to arrive at a GP where you’ve won a lot of times,” Rins said on Thursday. “I’ve had two victories in MotoGP, some in Moto2 and Moto3, so I’m quite happy to ♐be here. I feel the vibe.

“The reality this year is different. We come from two race𝕴s struggling a lot with the bike.

“Maybe before the season started, 🧸everybody - including me - thought we were going to make a 🍸step up, at least in the first races.

“But we haven’t been able to yet. Still, there are many races to🤡 go. So we need to keep working, especially at this GP.

“If the weather allows, we’re going to test - not new 🐓[parts], but a completely radical setting, different from the previous races, to see if the bike works better or worse, but at least to feel something.

“Because right now, my bike setup is diffౠerent from Fabio [Quarta𒉰raro] and Miller’s, yet we all have the same problem. So let's see.”

Yamaha’s Sepang Test a false Dawn?

Despite a pr𝓀omising pre-season test at Sepang, Yamaha currently sits last in the Constructors’ sta🐼ndings.

Rins suggested that the high-grip conditions in Malaysia may have masked the M1’s true performance - at least for team-mate🍒 Quartararo.

“Fabi💫o rode super fast in Sepang. It looked like he made a step up compared to, for example, me,” Rins explained. “I struggled a lot. I had more or less the same problems in the Sepang test as in the Buriram test, Buriram race, Argentina race. 

“So ♎maybe the amount of grip at the [⛄Sepang] test made the result not so realistic.”

Despite Yamaha's early-season struggles, Rins insists he is pushing to the limit t💎o turn things around.

“Yo💫u can see on track that I’m giving 100%. I don't keep anything in the pocket.  But still the resu🐷lt doesn't come. So this means we need to keep working.”

Rins began the COTA weekend with 18th i♎n the soaking wet FP1, when Jack Miller was the𓃲 top Yamaha in second place.

De♐pending on t🍰he afternoon weather, Rins might need to wait until Saturday's final practice before trying the new set-up.
