MotoGP: “Agreement found” between Alex Rins and Yamaha - but one hurdle to go

The LCR Honda rider is set to quit the 📖team he only joined this year,🌜 and move again for the 2024 MotoGP season.
🗹“The agreem𝕴ent has already been found,” between Rins and Yamaha, reported.

But “the final signing of the contract is missing”, the repo🌳rt stat🌄es.
And you know wh𒀰at they say about a deal before the ༒ink is dry…
However, a primary reason for the lack of a signed contract between Rins and Yamaha is due to the rider being in hospital undಌergoing surgery for a broken leg.
He then got married - still in a wheelchair - last week𝔉end.
Rins will join Fabio Quartararo as Yamaha’s two riders for the 🐟20⭕24 MotoGP season, replacing Franco Morbidelli.
It will bring an end to his one♏ year with Honda, who handed Rins a lifeline for this seaso🍷n when Suzuki quit MotoGP leaving him without a bike.
But the first half of this year has b𓄧een tumultuous for Rins.
The obvious highlight was winning the♏ Grand Prix of the Americas, making him the first Honda rider aside from Marc Marquez to win a MotoGP race in five years.
Bu💞t he has also quarrelled publicly with his team, leaving Honda to tell him not to criticise them in the media again.
And then Rins sat out of the most recent race - one of♌ three out of four Honda riders nursing an injury - after breaking a leg at Mugello.
He will miss MotoGP’s return on August 6 at Silverstone due to the injurꦚy and, by the time he next races, his future might be sꦐorted.
