Bad news for Trackhouse Racing ahead of this weekend's Aragon MotoGP. Ai Ogura, a title contender, will miss the race after sustaining a hand injury during training in Japan.
Ogura, currently third in the championship, trails leader Jorge Martin by 37 points. This is a significant blow to his title hopes, as he also missed the Aragon round last year due to a leg injury.
The Japanese rider will undergo surgery on a fracture near his left thumb. The operation is scheduled for Thursday. Aprilia test rider Lorenzo Savadori will replace him on the RS-GP for the Aragon round.
In a team statement, it was confirmed: "SuperFile Trackhouse MotoGP Team rider #79 Ai Ogura suffered a left-hand injury while training in Japan. On arrival in Europe, the fracture close to his left thumb has been found to require surgery which he will undergo on Thursday."
The statement added: "The Team welcomes #32 Lorenzo Savadori who will substitute for this round in Aragon. We wish Ai a speedy recovery and are grateful for Lorenzo's agreement to deputize at such short notice."
Ogura's absence opens the door for rivals to close in on the championship standings. With Ogura out, the fight for the top positions intensifies, especially between Martin, Bezzecchi, and others looking to capitalize.
