JAKARTA LCR Honda racer from Spain, who recently moved from Suzuki, Alex Rins, is rumored to want to leave for Yamaha in the 2024 MotoGP racing season. The news was acknowledged by the boss of LCR Honda, Lucio Cecchinello.

Rins has appeared not special since joining LCR, the Honda satellite team which is packaging at Monaco. He won once in the American GP race in Austin, Texas on April 16.

The rest, finish 10 at the Portuguese GP and 9 at the Argentine GP. Rins did not finish at the Spanish and French GPs, not even played in the last five racing series due to injury.

"He has accepted an offer from Yamaha. Negotiations have started with them and with Honda by his representatives, although I am not part of this process," Cecchinello was quoted as saying by GPOne.

Cecchinello added that it was impossible for him to detain Rins from leaving the LCR, even though his contract is valid for 2023 and 2024.

"Because the offer for Rins is from the Yamaha factory team, and that's a great opportunity for him. He has a contract with HRC for two seasons, but there is an option out if he gets an offer from the factory team," said Cecchinello again.

Rins is rumored to be replacing Franco Morbidelli in the Yamaha factory team for MotoGP 2024. While still with Suzuki, Rins ended the 2022 racing season by ranking 7th.
