Álex Rins will not compete at the Thai MotoGP. The rider had already withdrawn prematurely from the Australian GP last weekend and is not fit for Buriram. However, he will not be replaced by LCR Honda.
According to the team, the Spanish rider immediately traveled to Madrid, where medical examinations on his right leg revealed a small hernia around the fibula that is still healing. This may have been the cause of the pain he was experiencing. On Thursday, Rins will undergo a minor surgery to improve the healing process.
So far, Iker Lecuona and Stefan Bradl have replaced the injured riders at LCR Honda and Repsol Honda in 2023. However, both are unavailable for Thailand, and due to the lack of time, LCR Honda has decided not to replace Rins in Buriram.
