Alex Rins\u2019 Yamaha troubles \u201cdifficult to accept\u201d<\/p>\n
Across 2025, Quartararo was a cut above the rest of his Yamaha stablemates.<\/p>\n
But Rins has defended himself and his other struggling Yamaha colleagues, Jack Miller and Miguel Oliveira, noting that none of them \u201chave forgotten how to ride\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s difficult to accept how things are going for us,\u201d Rins said during the Valencia Grand Prix weekend.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn the bike, I feel quite powerless, unable to do what I want.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I feel good, something like what happened in Indonesia happens, where I find myself in second or third place.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not the first time, nor the first circuit, where he [Quartararo] is the only one capable of getting something more out of the bike.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know if it\u2019s because it\u2019s made more for him. I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s because of the confidence he has with it, after so many years.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s got it down pat, but neither Oliveira, nor Miller, nor I have forgotten how to ride.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yamaha has officially retired its inline-four engine and will race with its new V4 next season.<\/p>\n
But the Japanese marque has cautioned that the first half of the campaign will be about developing the package and not results.<\/p>\n
