MotoGP, Rins returns to Yamaha in Austria after missing 2 GPs: 'I'm feeling good'

It' going to be an August holiday weekend on track for MotoGP riders and also for Alex Rins, who was forced to miss the last two Grands Prix due to his physical condition after the accident suffered in Assen. Yamaha's Spanish rider will be racing at the Red Bull Ring after being forced to skip the race two weeks ago in Britain.

"I was very disappointed that I couldn't ride in Silverstone, but I used that to motivate me even more to come back stronger for Spielberg," said Alex. "I've been training on and off the bike, and I've stayed in contact with medical experts throughout the process. I'm feeling good, so I'm excited to be back aboard my M1 again!"

In the box he will once again find Fabio Quartararo, who is committed to turning Yamaha's fortunes around at this time of crisis.

"We have a busy period coming up, and this is good for us," explained the Frenchman. "The feeling during the Silverstone weekend was, for the most part, not great, so there is work to do, and the more laps we can get in, the better. We're going to do what we always do this year: we will try some new things, collect data, and give it our 100% in Spielberg in the Sprint and the Race."
