With Suzuki out of the MotoGP game after the end of this season, it's undeniable that a good number of riders have gathered around the chairs in a circle. While some have already sat down with new teams, others have still been floating around with their future uncertain. Now, at least, we can take another rider off the floating list, as Alex Rins now has a solid future ahead of him with LCR Honda Castrol.
The story goes something like this: Jack Miller left the official Ducati team for KTM, leaving a spot that theoretically belonged to Jorge Martin, and whose position Enea Bastianini would take up at Pramac. Because of this, the Gresini Racing team has already recruited Alex Marquez to ride Bastianini's Ducati Desmosedici racing bike in his place starting 2023. Naturally, this leaves Alex Marquez's position at LCR Honda Castrol empty. As a result, the Lucio Cecchinello-led LCR Honda Castrol team had to recruit a replacement for the younger Marquez. Enter Alex Rins, who has recently inked a contract to ride the Honda RC213V for two seasons.
