Ai Ogura ruled out of Aragon MotoGP, replacement announced
Ai Ogura will surrender more MotoGP World Championship points after being forced out of this weekend's Aragon round.
MotoGP title contender Ai Ogura will miss this weekend’s Aragon MotoGP after sustaining a hand injury during training.
The Trackhouse star, currently third in the world championship behind factory Aprilia riders Jorge Martin and Marco Bezzecchi, has been forced to skip the event for the second year in succession after a leg injury in 2025.
Ogura will require surgery on a fracture close to his left thumb, with Aprilia test rider Lorenzo Savadori taking over his RS-GP this weekend.
A Trackhouse statement read:
‘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, this week.
‘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, who made his first race mistake of the season at Silverstone, is currently 37-points behind Martin.
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
