The LCR Honda rider p♋rovided his manufacturer’s𝕴 only brief ray of light in an otherwise torrid MotoGP season by winning the Grand Prix of the Americas.

Y💖et, last time out, he was one of three out of four Honda riders🐠 sidelined due to injury and is now considering his exit.

"He has received an offer from Yama🍌ha,” LCR team owner Lucio C♕ecchinello told .

“Negotiations have started with them and with Honda by his representative, although I a🍒m not part of this process. 

"I have no definitive information, I can only say that for us it wo𝄹uld be a shame to lose Alex bec☂ause he is a very good rider.

"He is taking his time to reflect and understand what the b🐼est solution is.

“Certainly continuing the project with Ho🍬nda makes sense, he has already won a race, and the bike will grow faster than expected with a renewed commitment from HRC. 

“On the other hand, Yamaha offers him a place in an official team, so probably the conditions wi𒀰ll be different.”

Cecchinello ex📖plained how a contractual clause has allowed Rins to explore his options.

“Alex signed a contract with HRC that included two seasons, 2023 and 2024, but an exit option in case he received an offer from a factory team,” he⛎ said.

"Already last year🌳 a marriage had been attempted between Rins and Yamaha, which had broken up because of Franco Morbidelli. So his manager had wanted this option."

Morbidelli, who curr♋ently partners Fabio Quartararo for Yamaha, would be the casualty if Rins does opt to move across.

Morbidelli will hope to in ꦡturn find a seat within the Ducati clan, per🙈haps with Mooney VR46.

Rins is currently rehabbing a brok🙈en leg before MotoGP returns on August 6 at Silverstone.

“Alꦬex has asked us🥀 to wait until the end of the month to know his physical situation,” Cecchinello said about whether Rins might race at Silverstone. 

“H🀅e has started to take his first steps in the pool and, just the other day, he sent me a video cycling 💙in the gym. We still have about ten days ahead of us and he wants to take more time.”
