Fabio Quartararo questioned about injured Alex Rins’ availability for test

Yamaha are the only MotoGP manufacturer with just two riders on this year’s, and next year’s, grids, a major disadvantage in development for a team who are already struggling.

Rins, the LCR Honda rider who has signed a contract to replace Fabio Morbidelli at Yamaha in 2024, is back on the sidelines and must undergo another surgery on a broken leg after an aborted comeback attempt. Quartararo was asked, at the Thailand MotoGP, if a problem would arise if Rins could not ride at the Valencia test, and he replied: “First of all, the health is more important than the bike.“Knowing Alex, I don’t know how bad the other surgery is. But to come back too early is never good.“To not be at the Valencia test, for him and for us, it won’t be a massive change.

He said about the result he expects in Buriram: “Normally, it’s one good, then one bad. So now should be a top result!“This would be a big step for us.He refused to be drawn on predicting a 2023 MotoGP champion, with Francesco Bagnaia entering the weekend 27 points ahead of Jorge Martin.Yamaha: 'We have 20 hours to come up with a solution'Next
