Ogura will go up against his current backer Honda as he prepares for a move to MotoGP with Trackhouse
Moto2 championship contender Ai Ogura is closing on a move to join Trackhouse Racing in MotoGP next year, Motorsport.com can reveal. Although a deal is yet to be finalised, it is understood that Ogura has reached an agreement to race a satellite Aprilia RS-GP for Trackhouse, where he will partner incumbent Raul Fernandez, who recently inked a new two-year contract until 2026.
Ogura also fought for the 2022 title until the very end, narrowly losing out to current Tech3 racer Augusto Fernandez, but endured a difficult ‘23 campaign that forced him to part ways with Honda-backed Idemitsu Team Asia and join MT Helmets - MSi. Trackouse is an interesting choice for the 23-year-old, who remains a part of Honda’s young rider roster and hence would have been a more likely candidate for an LCR seat.
