Days before claiming the Japanese manufacturer’s first MotoGP winꦇ in two years, and the first since 2018 via a rider other than Marc Marquez, Rins had complained about not being utilised enough for testing.

Honda were left “very, very 🧜hurt” by Rins’ comments, according𝐆 to .

And they have warned him that if he makes negative 𝕴statements about Honda in public again, they will take “the appropriate measures”.

However, sources inside Honda reveal that statements Rins may or may not have made did not impact him getting or not getting the frame Ho🎀nda and Kalex co-developed.

Rins didn’t have a chance to test the Kalex chassis at the Jerez test, and was asked if he tried test rider Stefan Bradl’s bike, replying: "🐠No. I was quite surprised, because originally they said to me that only Stefan is going to test the new frame, the new chassis and I heard in the TV that Joan also tried. 

“Unluckily his bike [stopped] in corner six, but I was quite suღrprised about th💮is."

His prev🍸ious criticism which aggrieved his team, before the Grand Prix of the Americas, was: “I feel that Honda relies little on me; I feel untapped.

“A small example is what happened in Argentina. After testing Marc's chassis, which is different from the one Joan had been using, I ask🥀ed them if they would also let me test Mir's, to get an overall idea.

“I thought it was the right time to test. And they said no, even thoꦜugh they have spare units.

“I tried to talk to them, but they are very square. It's not that they do🌺n't listen to me, but that the⛦y don't take advantage of me.”

The꧒ ex-Suzuki rider won at COTA days after his critical words, then failed to finish the Spanish MotoGP.
