Yamaha has re-signed Alex Rins on a two-year contract to keep the Spaniard in blue until the end of the 2026 season.
Rins joined Yamaha at the start of the 2024 season after leaving LCR Honda, for which he won HRC’s only Grand Prix in 2023 at the Circuit of the Americas, as he felt underappreciated at the Tokyo marque.

Rins’ form has been hampered since June last year by the broken leg he sustained at the Italian Grand Prix, which is still in recovery. Rumours of retirement had begun to circle after the #42 missed the German Grand Prix following his Dutch TT high-side. This new contract, though, eliminates that consideration for now.
“I'm very happy to continue working with Yamaha for two more years, and I want to thank the team and the management in Iwata for their trust in me.
“We have a clear goal, to bring Yamaha where it belongs, and that's to fight for championships.
“Since the first minute, I have seen Yamaha's willingness to improve and how they are putting in all the resources to reach that objective. As a result, and thanks to our work, we have made some important steps this season heading in that direction, and we want to continue that way in the following years.
“I'm delighted to keep bringing my experience in MotoGP and work ethic to a team that has proved to be pushing very hard all together and that will continue doing so.”
