Hope was short-lived for Alex Rins. The Spanish driver, back in the saddle after a wrist injury sustained during the Dutch Grand Prix, must withdraw from the remainder of the Silverstone weekend. The most worrying thing is that this apparently has nothing to do with his fall during the last practice session this Friday in Great Britain...
After extending his contract with Yamaha a few hours ago, alex rins was impatient to get back on the handlebars of his YZR-M1. Unfortunately, the after-effects of his injury turned out to be more serious than expected. Despite 31 towers carried out during the two free practice sessions on Friday, the pain in the wrist proved too intense.
« I worked hard to get back here, " said Kidneys, visibly disappointed. “ But the pain was worse than expected. After consulting with the doctors, we decided the best option was to forgo the rest of the weekend."
Alex Rins: “ the risk of aggravating my injury was too great »
This decision, although painful, is the wisest to take to preserve the health of Kidneys. “ Every lap is precious for the development of the bike, " he added. “ But the risk of aggravating my injury was too great. » We will recall that this British Grand Prix is the first after weeks of summer break and that the Spaniard had not been the last German Grand Prix ...
Yamaha , for his part, fully supports his pilot's decision. “ We are disappointed for Alex and for the team,” declared a spokesperson for the three-tuned brand. “ We hope to see him back in top form at the next Grand Prix in Austria."

alex rins will now have to concentrate on his recovery in order to be in the best shape for the resumption of competition in Spielberg. But at least he your future 2025 and 2026 as an insured.
