Alex Rins Set to Return for Indonesian MotoGP After Missing Misano Due to Illness

Alex Rins shares update on his status after sitting out Misano MotoGP

Alex Rins was absent from last weekend's race because of sickness

This weekend, Alex Rins is set to return to compete in Indonesia.

The Yamaha rider missed Friday's practice session at the Emilia Romagna MotoGP last weekend because he had a high fever. Despite trying to ride on Saturday, he had to pull out of the event.

A few days afterward at the Mandalika event, Yamaha will see Rins return to the race.

Rins expressed his disappointment over missing the race in Misano last weekend, but he announced that he has fully recovered and is eager to get back to riding.

"This time of the season is always a favorite of mine. We have numerous Grand Prix events back-to-back, and the enthusiasts in this region are incredibly passionate about MotoGP, which is really great to witness."

Colleague Fabio Quartararo remarked, “We are beginning the international circuit now, which is always thrilling.

"We rarely have the chance to meet our fans here, and their support means a lot to me. That’s why I always have a great time at these Grand Prix events. Plus, I'm a fan of the Mandalika circuit."

"I was on the podium in both 2022 and 2023. We will give our best effort again this year."

"We made progress in Misano, so I'm eager to find out how we'll perform this weekend."

Team manager Massimo Meregalli mentioned, "We journeyed directly from Misano to Mandalika."

"Alex is set to rejoin the team this week, bringing us back to full strength."

The Emilia-Romagna weekend turned out to be quite successful for our team. Our dedication and efforts are yielding results, and we aim to maintain this upward momentum.

"Having spent a considerable amount of time riding at Misano, we are curious to see how we perform on a totally different circuit."

The squad is extremely driven, particularly because we aim to deliver an excellent performance for the Indonesian supporters. Their enthusiasm for motorcycle racing is unparalleled, prompting the entire team to put in maximum effort.

Quartararo fell short of achieving his top performance of the season at Misano last weekend, losing it in the final corner.

Running out of fuel caused him to lose his fifth-place position, ultimately forcing him to finish in seventh place.

However, it signifies progress for Yamaha's leading figure.

Mandalika is a circuit he enjoys, where he secured second place in 2022 and third place in 2023.
