Not only Fabio Quartararo: Alex Rins has also decided to confirm his trust in Yamaha for the next two seasons, renewing his contract with the Iwata-based manufacturer until 2026. The news came on Thursday of the British GP, a special Round for Rins, who is set to return to the track after the foot and hand injury suffered in the Dutch GP, which forced him to miss the last round at Sachsenring.
"I'm very happy to continue working with Yamaha for two more years, and I want to thank the team and the management in Iwata for their trust in me," said the 28-year-old, explaining his reasons for continuing his association with the Japanese manufacturer: "We have a clear goal, to bring Yamaha where it belongs, and that's to fight for championships. Since the first minute, I have seen Yamaha's willingness to improve and how they are putting in all the resources to reach that objective. As a result, and thanks to our work, we have made some important steps this season heading in that direction, and we want to continue that way in the following years. I'm delighted to keep bringing my experience in MotoGP and work ethic to a team that has proved to be pushing very hard all together and that will continue doing so."
This is an important renewal for the House of the Three Tuning Forks, which has secured another key piece in the multi-year plan with which it aims to return to the top of MotoGP by investing in the development of the M1.
"We are delighted to announce that Alex Rins will continue as a Yamaha factory rider for a further two years. We have clearly stated that we have a strong desire and intent to return to the top again in the MotoGP championship. To achieve that goal, we have already recruited new staff, changed our internal organisation structures, and expanded our external technical partnerships. We have additionally committed to expand our presence in 2025 with an independent second Factory Team and now it is time to ensure that we have the riders we want to achieve the results we, and they, crave for," commented Lin Jarvis, Yamaha's Managing Director.
"Alex signing on for two more years is an important part of our plan for the MotoGP Project.Alex is not only a very talented and fast rider, but he is also technically savvy, a hard worker, and a real team player," the manager continued. "The collaboration between Alex and Fabio gives Yamaha the confidence that together they can strengthen the bike development project. Now that the 2025-26 Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP rider line-up is established, we are greatly looking forward to the next 11 races of the 2024 season with Álex and Fabio, fully focused on the task at hand."
