In 2024, Yamaha will have concessions in MotoGP, under the new system announced on Monday. For this reason, they will have more testing opportunities, but for now, there is no defined schedule.
Álex Rins explained to the press that for now, it is certain that he will ride at the shakedown in Sepang in February: ‘They are working on this plan. For sure I will do the shakedown test. More days to test means more things to test, so, it’s ok’.
However, the 22-round calendar limits the available dates for testing during the season, something the Spaniard commented on: ‘Maybe the shakedown, I don’t know. My wife is not happy [laughts], less time in home. But I think she doesn’t know yet I’m going to shakedown’.
In any case, Rins ensured that he has no problems: ‘I’m feeling good because it gives me the opportunity to be more ready for the new season’.
