Several riders were sidelined due to injury for extended periods this season, including Enea Bastianini, Pol Espargaró, and Álex Rins, who attempted a comeback at the Japanese GP but was unfit to race.
The Spanish rider from LCR Honda was asked whether he would like a rule that allows riders who have been out due to injury for an extended period to have a private test to regain their form and assess their physical condition.
In his answer, Rins stated: ‘For sure now that I’m injured, for sure yes: I’m looking to be more prepared. But I don’t know. Maybe for the Japanese manufacturers, change this rule for the next year’.
