OPINION: The Trackhouse Aprilia team's choice of Moto2 contender Ai Ogura for 2025 may have come as something of a surprise.
In the run-up to the Austrian Grand Prix, it was announced that Ai Ogura would make his MotoGP debut next season thanks to Trackhouse, and in particular its team manager Davide Brivio. With the signing of the Japanese rider, Brivio remains faithful to the philosophy that makes him a unique case among the managers of the different teams in the championship.
'Joe was on our list, but we did our analysis more from a performance point of view, and we came to the conclusion that the route we chose was more appropriate. We will know if we got it right or not in a couple of years.' With this move, Brivio highlights several elements that should not be overlooked. Firstly, he has convinced team owner Justin Marks not to rush into signing a rider simply for the sake of nationality.
