Hard blow for Ai Ogura and the team TrackHouse RacingThe Japanese rider, Moto2 world champion in 2024, will not take the start of the Aragon Grand PrixThe announcement came this evening: after medical examinations in Barcelona, Ogura was officially declared unfit to run.
Victim of a fracture of the right tibia during the first free practice session at Silverstone, the driver was operated on immediately by Dr. Juan Monllau. Despite some progress, the recovery is not yet sufficient to consider a return to competition. The Catalan doctor decided it would be preferable to extend the recovery period, and TrackHouse decided to follow its recommendations to the letter.
Ai Ogura's recovery takes longer than expected
« Despite an improvement, recovery is not sufficient to race in MotoGP, " said TrackHouse Racing in a press release. The American team will therefore only enter one bike this weekend, that of Raul fernandez. The structure ofAprilia Racing, will also be represented in Aragon by Lorenzo Savadori, replacing George Martin, still convalescing.
For Ogura, the frustration is immense. Every missed race is an opportunity for progression that disappears, especially in a season where learning in the premier class is crucial. TrackHouse, for his part, remains confident and is counting on a solid return from the Japanese driver as soon as his condition allows.
No return date has been announced yet. The priority remains a complete recovery to avoid any worsening of the condition. Aragon Grand Prix will therefore compete without one of its most promising rookies. But the story ofOgura en MotoGP is just getting started, and everything suggests that it will come back stronger.
