JAKARTA - Alex Rins announced that Suzuki will again compete in the 2023 MotoGP World Championships. The announcement was made by the Spaniard on his Instagram and Twitter.

The post caused a stir among the users of the two giant social media. The reason is, Suzuki had previously announced leaving the most prestigious race next year.

In the upload, Rins attaches a photo of a Suzuki GSX-RR, but not with a blue liver as usual. He changed Suzuki's iconic blue to red, his favorite color.

"I present to you AR42. Team for MotoGP 2023," said the 27-year-old rider tweet.

The upload also features a photo of Livio Suppo. This figure was once the manager of the Suzuki Ecstar team for the 2022 season after Davide Brivio's departure which had made it difficult for the team.

Rins further explained that he had reached an agreement with Suzuki to compete with the AR42 Team flag. They will be supported by Suppo as the very famous team manager.

"Together with the principal of the very famous team @livio.suppo. Thank you to all the partners who made this possible," he added.

At first glance, it looks real. However, in a follow-up tweet, Rins explained that her post was just a fad from Rins to coincide with December 28.

That date in Spain is the day "He is de Los Santos Inocentes" or like April Pool. In Indonesia, April Pool is known as the day when people can freely convey information that really doesn't exist.

"Sorry if you believe in these friends. Today is El Dia d Los Santos Incentes in Spain, April our Pool, when you do pranks for the people we love," he tweeted.

Rins has found a new team for the 2023 MotoGP after Suzuki confirmed that he will leave the biggest motorcycle racing championship. The Spaniard will join LCR Honda.
