Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. is pleased to announce that Álex Rins has signed on with the Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP Team for the 2025 and 2026 MotoGP season.
The vastly experienced Spaniard is a household name for MotoGP fans. He has ample experience in the MotoGP paddock and has many premier-class and lower-class race victories (6x MotoGP, 4x Moto2, 8x Moto3, 18 in total) and podiums (18x MotoGP, 17x Moto2, 23x Moto3, 58 in total) to his name.
These achievements, on top of his skills, superb work ethic, and attention to detail, have Yamaha fully confident in their partnership with the 28-year-old. Moreover, Rins’ extensive experience has proven extremely valuable in 2024 and keeping him as a part of the project is a crucial element in Yamaha’s multi-year plan where bike development has the highest priority.
“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,” Rins said. “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.”
Following a foot and a hand injury sustained by Rins at the 2024 Dutch GP Race, MotoGP fans are eager to see the number-42 rider return to action in the British GP weekend as the second half of the 2024 season commences.
Rins underwent surgery during the summer break and has been giving it his 100% to make a full recovery in time for Silverstone.
