This year, Trackhouse MotoGP begins its second season with two young riders: rookie Ai Ogura, who takes Miguel Oliveira’s place, and Raúl Fernández, who begins his fourth season.
Team principal Davide Brivio gave Crash.net his thoughts on Ogura, the 2024 Moto2 world champion: “We witnessed someone in the AI who was a real fighter and at times resilient; maybe he had a difficult start, but he persevered and recovered. Furthermore, his riding style seems to be a solid foundation to become a MotoGP rider. So we also appreciate his approach; he seems like a serious and hard worker, highly dedicated to his job. some of these items.
In addition to Ogura’s riding qualities, Brivio considered when he joined Trackhouse to replace Oliveira:
It was difficult to make a decision regarding Miguel, who we really have nothing to complain about, even though we were at the stage where we wanted to act and were also considering the future or something like that. [. Raul, who is still young and has a lot of potential that he has not yet shown, and Ogura, who is a rookie. He is still young and is entering his fourth year in MotoGP, so he is promising. So we thought: “Okay, we gave him the responsibility of the team and now he needs to deliver”. Let’s see if he can do it. It is a project, therefore. The young and experienced Raul and the young up-and-coming Ai are working to establish something for Trackhouse in the coming years.
