For the Spaniard, it was also a relief to have found a refuge synonymous with career extension, especially since his current employer Suzuki indicated that he would stop spending in MotoGP at the end of this year. A comfort that Joan Mir does not yet have… But Alex Rins already sees further. He knows like everyone that Honda is going through difficult times.

It's a pleasure to sign a contract with a brand like Honda. Of course, when I went to sign with Lucio it was for an official bike. It was the only option I could take. Ducati did not assure me an official motorcycle ».

He finishes : " I am excited about this project. Of course, I don't wonder if the bike is very difficult, I'll see what I can do. I want to enjoy the motorcycle, make her mine and get results ». Marc Marquez apparently just have to behave.
