Valencia MotoGP: Alex Rins returns for LCR Honda farewell
The Spaniard, who won the 2022 Valencia finale for Suzuki, continues to recover from&nb💞sp;complicated leg 🦋fractures at Mugello in May.
Although he took part in the grands prix of Japan, Indonesia and Australia (Friday), ongoing pain forced another round of surgery andꦐ Rins was replaced by Iker Lecuona for the Malaysian and Qatar rounds.
The COTA winner, who is joining Monster Yamaha 🌠f෴or 2024, will now make his final RC213V appearance this weekend before an M1 debut at the Tuesday test.
Rins' 2-1 results at COTA remain the highest-scoring weekend of the se𝔍ason for a Honda rider, with the 34 poi♛nts scored comfortably clear of the 19 for Marc Marquez during his best event (Motegi).
However, Rins has🦩 scored just 20 points from his other Honda appearances.
Johann Zarco will leave Pramac Ducat🥂i to take over Rins' seat at LCR next season, alongside Takaaki Nakagami.
Peter has been in the paddꦦock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
