Rins: “The damage was so hard, I couldn’t run behind my son’s back, but forgot it; now I have to find something” “

Alex rins (Barcelona, ​​1995) does not pass by Motogp. The Spaniards suffered a serious injury in two periods however, it was very clear that this leg fracture was a thing of the past and now it is time to expect a Yamaha that becomes better and a plant more expensive than Ducati. The next goal, the Aragon GP, ​​is one of its appointments marked on the good tag -heat calendar that passes some calameters of Motorland.

What are your expectations over the weekend, considering the memories you have in this area?

Well, the truth is that this is a special circuit, I will not deceive you. I have been up to 24-25 years here, 20 kilometers, in my grandparents’ town, at VallDalgorfa. And from a cheap age, if all of this does not exist, we came here to make a motocross.

And the fact is that it’s special, it’s a circuit I like a lot, so we’ll see how it goes. We will give everything, many Alcañiz lovers, from the next towns, also to encourage us, so it will be special. “

Have the place have changed a lot, do you know it so much, when the circuit comes or not?

The advent of the circuit came as I think that in 2011, it has changed a lot since then, but it is the same. Eventually, when I came here, or I went to town to visit grandparents, memories came and the truth was beautiful.

Well, in the competitive section, from Jerez we saw a very competitive Yamaha, especially in the classification, with the Silverstone in the career. What is missing in Yamaha to compete with Ducati in all careers, or if you think you’re there?

No, I think the motorcycle has not yet won. Fabio, my partner, is doing well, carries three poles in the next, giving me energy to throw away, it gives me help. Yes, it is true that some races took his head there. We are one step back, we need to finish finding the setting a little, giving us to be with or fighting.

But the truth is that Yamaha works a lot. They put everything they need to improve, they also make a V engine, which we are just on the grill we have an online machine.

Will it make the difference? Do you think there is a lot of difference between the V4 engine?

In my opinion, the test pilots, Augustus, Dovizioso, Crutchlow try here … It’s clear to bring it when we have the machine we have today. But well, the truth is that this is a great effort of what they are doing.

The light is visible a little at the end of the Japanese brands tunnel, compared to European …

Yes, yes, in part of the Honda I can’t speak because I know what I see from the outside, but yes, yes, both Yamaha and Honda have taken a good step, I think we are still a bit far from European brands, like Ducati or how it can be Aprilia, but hey, every time we get close.

And on a physical level, 2023 injury marked him a lot in 2024, in 2025 this injury was forgotten?

100%, 100%. Ultimately it was a 2023 and early 2024 quite difficult for the problems it had, I was still hurting, but yes, forgotten it. On the motorcycle I didn’t even know, and in the sun.

What is still missing today to reach the level of confidence we saw years ago, when you fought Rossi, with Márquez, with anyone?

Well, I don’t think the motorcycle still doesn’t allow me to do what, for example, I made in Suzuki, the confidence it has: how the motorcycle worked, how I turned around, I still didn’t, I wasn’t in Yamaha.

And during this time of injury, what was the hardest moment? What do people support to forget about it?

Well, in the end, you rely on your personal team. At home, both with my husband, with my son, the level of the personal team, with all the people around me, along with friends, along with my psychologist, along with physics, along with the coach. Ultimately, as you said, this is a huge injury.

I tell you, now I’m 100% and every time I feel better. I can make more bikes, I can get more volume, more strength in bed. But they are … I will say that in one year, a year and a half, very difficult, very difficult. I’ll give you an example, not to be behind your child, because you hurt your foot.

We are at a time when you talk about contracts. What silence is the stability of stability as a pilot or at a point where the contracts are a signed paper and the pressure always exists?

The pressure is always. Yes it is true that it is not the same to have one contract than to have a two -a contract. But in the end, as a pilot, what you try is to focus and provide maximum, don’t interfere with you.

We do not doubt that next year in Yamaha …

Yes, yes. I have two -a contract.

Is Martin’s decision surprised?

I was shocked. I think we were all surprised by everything. But he only knows why and what you should see.

For a pilot, which is very clear in a little career, I don’t know if it’s normal. Did you know that making 8 races a year, did you know that this motorcycle will not give up?

I don’t know. Each decision is completely personal. I have never seen myself in this situation. The situation I found, for example, in 2023, was that I had a 1+1 contract. And Yamaha became interested in me. Having an official back team, being interested, I was automatically released. But change is not easy. I spent 2022 in Suzuki with a team of people. 2023 with another, 2024 with another. And this is not easy, because eventually, the coach, we are not known by the engineers. It’s not easy.

Instead, 2023 won the success of Honda. Is success your best memory in motogp or one of them?

This is one of them.

What was your best memory then?

It’s complicated, it’s hard to have only one memory. When you got your first success, you’re in Austin, I fought Valentino. The career won, the Honda, obviously. The truth is that they are some.

The other day, talking to a Pilot of Formula 1, George Russell, he told us that pilots could run 30 races a year, but the problem was all around: media theme, sponsor and when he got into the car, it was when he felt released. In your case, the same thing happens to the motorcycle?

I don’t think it’s comparable. Formula 1 is different from MotoGP, so I don’t know, I can’t figure it out.

But all the media environment that the World Cup takes? Or does it take well?

No, good.

Many times it is said that current motorcycles are dangerous because they are so fast in the issue of aerodynamics, all notes are beaten. Do you agree with this point that a maximum speed level, the risk has reached?

Any sport is dangerous. That is, that is a law of life. In the end we go to 360km/hy it is true that every time, either due to motorcycle tuns, the benefits, the faster we go.

In fact, that’s why we have a safety commission that we do every Friday. We get the MotoGP pilots and talk about the safety of the circuit, and the truth is at MotOGP while Dorna gives us facilities, right? I invented it. We rolled on Friday and we saw that there was some circuit damage, so we tried to do our best to solve it.

And the regulation of 2027 believes this is the perfect line for this World Cup?

Well, a year of changes. In fact, in 2027 there are many regulation changes and will begin again from zero. Ultimately we have a dynamic frequent motorcycle, evolution, of all. We need to see what happens and how this great change affects.

Done, what are your goals between eyebrows and eyebrows?

No, ultimately, as a pilot, you want to win and you want to get to the podium again. The only thing we need to build from the base. And now we make a pretty combined base and when we have the opportunity, when I feel good, we’ll see how it goes.

For a pilot that is accustomed to winning, how can you change your mind to take three steps and change a practical motorcycle from the beginning to the end?

This is complicated, because eventually you need to recognize that you do not have weapons to win. So, in my case, I do a great job on the most personal part, psychology, to be perfect.

Many thanks Alex and Luck
