It was in the air and this is sure to revive the transfer market. Alex Rins and Suzuki have finally agreed to collaborate. It will last two years with options, which also means a total renewal of drivers within the Hamamatsu team. From there, Aleix Espargaró and Johann Zarco will be able to announce the rest…
The first mentioned is expected from Aprilia, which will push Baptist et Bradl towards the exit since Lowes is assured of his handlebars. And then there is our Johann zarco who will soon be packing his bags in the direction of the Yamaha Tech3.
In the meantime, after a journey of 5 years, including 3 in Moto3 and 2 in Moto2, here it is Alex Rins among the elite. And this despite the fact that, for the moment, he has never been World Champion: “ Álex Rins is a young driver who has a lot of talent » assures the team manager Davide Brivio on MotoGP.com. “ He demonstrated this by immediately fighting at the forefront in each of the categories. This is exactly the type of driver we want to support for the future ».
« Pairing Álex Rins with a more experienced driver like Andrea Iannone is a perfect combination. I think that this crew, with the development of the Suzuki GSX-RR, will allow us to have a strong team, which will compete for the first places. It was not an easy choice and we are sorry for Aleix Espargaró. We would like to thank him for his work and for his passion placed in this project from the beginning. We wish him all the best for his future and we will continue to support him to achieve the best possible results between now and the end of the season. ».
We will recall that Maverick Vinales, who arrived at Suzuki two years ago with words at least as laudatory, went to Yamaha.
