COTA 2023 "something special" but Alex Rins not “spending too much time reminiscing”

Last year’s shock COTA victory was “something special” but Alex Rins insists he is focussed on the task in hand as he returns to Texas this weekend.

But the Spaniard suffered leg fractures just two rounds later and, frustrated at the slow progress of parts across from the Repsol garage, had signed for Monster Yamaha by the time he returned to action in late summer. With a best of 13th place on the M1 so far, a rostrum this weekend would seem a stretch… but Rins had only finished 10th and 9th for LCR before arriving at Austin last season.“Of course, I'm very happy to be back at COTA. It's a track that I really like, and last year's victory was something special,” Rins said.

While Aprilia’s Maverick Vinales became the first rider to win MotoGP ‘races’ with three different brands, courtesy of his Portimao Sprint victory, Rins and Jack Miller still have the chance to become the first rider to win GPs on three different bikes.
