No factory seat? Then you go where the winning bike is — that's just the pro's call. The Panigale V4 is dialed in corner-in to corner-out; a rider with Rins's hands won't need long to close that gap. Whatever you learn in MotoGP doesn't rot just because the category changes.

The fact that money comes up first shows how tough this really is.

Sounds like it'll come down to a seat fight with Baldassarri.

Tough that a rider like Rins can't land a factory seat.

€300k just to switch categories, that's wild.
