Alex Rins feels he “needs to do something different” to speed up his adaptation to Yamaha’s MotoGP bike, as copying Fabio Quartararo’s set-up hasn’t yielded the desired results so far.
Rins finished 13th in Sunday’s Portuguese Grand Prix, six places behind team-mate Quartararo, in what was his second competitive weekend for Yamaha following his off-season switch from LCR Honda. Although this was a massive improvement from his point-less 16th-place result in the season-opening Qatar Grand Prix, where the Yamaha package was quite uncompetitive, the Spaniard felt he encountered the same issues in Portimao that plagued him at Losail.

I am struggling to turn, I cannot do angle.” He added: “It's more set-up than my position on the bike.
