Why Alex Rins prefers ‘old school’ electronics, V4 or Inline ‘doesn't matter’

Similarities in riding style and speed are proving ‘really helpful’ for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo and new Monster Yamaha MotoGP team-mate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Rins.
But where the pair diverge significantly is in terms of electronicꦿs, with Rins takin𓆉g something of an ‘old school’ approach.
“Alex has more of a ridin✤g style like mine, just quite different on the electronics,” Quartararo confirmed.
“[His electronics are] a little bit critical. He’s one of the only riders to rꦕeally ride like that.
“But in terms of speed, he’s really fast and I think it’s really helpful♔ for him and for me.”
Rins explained that he has a sp♔ecific approacꦆh to throttle control that doesn’t seem to suit other riders.
“It was very similar [situation] in Honda,” said the Spaniard, who is riding his tജhird different MotoGP machine in three seasons.
“When I was riding the Suzuki, I was used to working just with the throttle. I mean with very low traction control and very loไw electronics.
“And here in Yamaha, it💜 looks like the line of the power delive༒ry is different to the one I was using in Suzuki.
“I just tried to🎀 make my own way, to ride as I know and how I'm comfortable riding.”
Quartararo has cited electronics as an area “wh𓆏ere [Yamaha] has to m💛ake a massive step.”
As such, Rins revealed the Frenchman ha🐼d tried his ‘light touch’ approach to electronics during winter testing but “didn't lik🐟e it that much.”
“It’s dependi𒉰ng on the [rider],” Rins added. “I want to feel more the bike in my han🀅d.”
More old school?
“Let's say like this, yeah!”
Rins’ MotoGP career began with an Inline4﷽ e🔯ngine configuration at Suzuki, winning five races, before adding a further victory on last year’s V4 Honda.
Following Suzuki’s MotoGP exit, Y𝔍amaha now has the only Inline4 engine on the grid, but for Rins the difference is now less significant than the aerodynamics.
“Right now, to have a V4 engine or 4 Inline engine, it doesn't matter,” he said. “For me, it's more about the aerodynamics. Good aerodynamics make the bike turn more. That’s my po⛄int of view꧑.”
After struggling with some turning issues in the opening rounds, using a set-up close to Quartararo, Rins now intends to168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结♕果历史: experiment more with the set-up of his ওM1, something which may yet benefit both riders.
This weekend’s third round will take place at COTA, the scene of Rins🍒’ shock LCR vic🌊tory.
