Moto2 frontrunner Ai Ogura set for MotoGP debut with Trackhouse in 2025

Опубликовано от ASPPA IMAGES ANO


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.

The Japanese rider’s expected move to Trackhouse marks the latest twist in the rider market which, if completed, could leave four-time grand prix winner Jack Miller without a seat next year. Miller was previously linked to the American outfit after being dropped by KTM for next year in favour of rising star Pedro Acosta.

Joe Roberts, who also races in Moto2 like Ogura, will also be left hanging after holding several conversations with Trackhouse team principal Davide Brivio about a possible graduation to the premier class.

Ogura is being considered for a MotoGP seat by Trackhouse in the wake of his results with the MT Helmets — MSi squad in Moto2, where he currently sits second in the standings and just seven points adrift of leader Sergio Garcia.

He has scored two wins so far in 2024, the same tally as Garcia, and has finished all but one race inside the top five. 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.

His defection to Trackhouse in 2025 will almost certainly mean that Honda executives will continue to support Takaaki Nakagami.

Nakagami has done a reasonable job on Honda’s troubled MotoGP challenger this year, scoring 10 points compared to 12 for team-mate Johann Zarco and 13 for HRC rider Joan Mir.

Interestingly, Honda considered the possibility of fielding Ogura at LCR in MotoGP this year in place of Nakagami, but he turned down the offer because he wanted to step up to the premier class as the reigning Moto2 champion. He also considered it too risky to make his debut on a bike as tricky to master as the current RC213V.

Pending confirmation of the deal, he is now expected to be among the new riders who will have to learn the RS-GP next alongside factory Aprilia recruits Jorge Martin and Marco Bezzecchi.

Honda signs new deal with Joan Mir until 2026 MotoGP season

Опубликовано от ASPPA IMAGES ANO


Joan Mir will stay with Honda’s factory team until the 2026 MotoGP season after signing a new two-year deal, HRC has announced.

Despite two miserable seasons on the RC213V that prompted Mir to consider an early retirement, the Spaniard has been clear for some time that he would like to extend his tenure with Honda.

Last month, Motorsport.com revealed that Mir and Honda have verbally agreed terms of their new contract, with only some formalities to be completed before the deal is signed.

With the signature now received, Honda finally announced on Friday that Mir would continue to lead its MotoGP programme until the end of the current rules cycle.

The 2020 champion is currently Honda’s top runner in the riders’ standings in 18th place, having scored 13 points to 12 of LCR recruit Johann Zarco.

«First of all, I am very happy to be able to compete with Honda and HRC for the next two years,” said the Spaniard.

It was my goal to continue this partnership, and this time I have been able to achieve it. HRC and I have been in partnership since 2023, and as we continue to do so, I believe that by continuing to input my opinions to HRC, I can contribute to improving the RC213V. 

“I know what I need to do and I know what Honda can achieve, so I hope that we can both achieve it. We will continue to work hard for the future for the remainder of this season.»

Honda is going through a nightmare campaign in MotoGP, with none of its four riders breaking inside the top 10 in a race in the opening half of the season.

The Japanese manufacturer sits dead last in the championship table heading into next weekend’s British Grand Prix at Silverstone after scoring half as many points as its nearest rival Yamaha.

However, HRC is pleased with the role Mir has played in the development of the RC213V and the Spaniard is now seen as a key player inside the factory after the departure of six-time champion Marc Marquez.

The news of Mir’s contract extension means Honda will head into 2025 with an unchanged line-up, with team-mate Luca Marini already having a deal for next season.

Mir and Marini will be supported by test riders Stefan Bradl and Aleix Espargaro, the latter joining from Aprilia next year after retiring from active competition.

«I am very happy to be able to compete in MotoGP with Joan Mir for two years from 2025,” said HRC president Koji Watanabe.

“This has been a tough season for Honda and HRC, unlike anything they have ever experienced before. Even in these circumstances, Mir has trusted the team, and we are very grateful for his attitude of never giving up and fighting at any time. 

“We, along with Mir, would like to work together with all the stakeholders to make a comeback and do our best to meet the expectations of our fans as soon as possible. Once again, thank you to all the fans who always support us. We look forward to your continued support.»

Crafar to replace Spencer as MotoGP chief steward from 2025

Опубликовано от ASPPA IMAGES ANO


Freddie Spencer will conclude his term as the chairman of MotoGP’s stewards panel at the end of the year, with Simon Crafar taking over from 2025.

Two-time 500cc world champion Spencer has been the chief MotoGP steward since that role was created in 2019, having been nominated for the position by MotoGP’s teams’ association, IRTA.

But on Wednesday afternoon, it was announced Spencer will step down from the stewards panel after five years in that capacity, with it currently being unclear if he will get another role at FIM or Dorna.

Another former motorcycle rider Crafar, best known for presenting MotoGP on the international TV feed, will replace him from the beginning of the 2025 season.

“It’s been a pleasure to have been the first chairman of the panel, and to have worked to put in place the incredible people and procedures we have now,” said Spencer, who was also 1985 250cc world champion.

“When I was asked to be the chairman, I accepted as I wanted to contribute to the sport and I’m proud of my tenure. I’m looking forward to some exciting projects in the future, and I know the team will be in great hands with Simon.”

Crafar’s new role in the race control room means he will no longer be one of the faces of MotoGP’s TV coverage in the English-language markets.

He added: “I’m really looking forward to taking on this new challenge. I did not take the decision lightly to make this change and accept this appointment, as it means leaving a role I’ve enjoyed a lot, but after seven years in MotoGP commentary I am ready for something new.

“I will approach this new position utilising my experience on and off the bike as rider, technician, coach and journalist, but more importantly with my love for our sport and respect for its competitors. I feel honoured to be trusted with this responsibility and to have been nominated for the role.”

Crafar’s appointment as the chief MotoGP stewards follows heavy criticism of some of the decisions Spencer has made in MotoGP in recent times.

LCR rider Johann Zarco famously called out Spencer for “not being good [enough] for this job” after an incident with Aprilia’s Aleix Espargaro at the Spanish Grand Prix, but later admitted that his outburst against him was “not professional”.

The decision to not take any action for two notable incidents in the French Grand Prix, including one involving Espargaro and Ducati’s Enea Bastianini, also highlighted some flaws in MotoGP’s officiating process.

As per the current system, Spencer is assisted by two other stewards from the panel, both of whom are nominated by the FIM and approved by the Permanent Bureau.

Marquez ‘crushed everything’ to get on a winning MotoGP bike

Опубликовано от ASPPA IMAGES ANO


Dani Pedrosa feels Marc Marquez ‘crushed everything’ in order to join Ducati’s factory MotoGP team in 2025, but is nonetheless impressed by how he transformed his fortunes in 12 months.

The 31-time grand prix winner has weighed in how Marquez successfully orchestrated a rider market shuffle to grab the coveted seat at Ducati alongside Francesco Bagnaia for 2025.

It was Marquez’s reluctance to move to Pramac on the latest-spec bike that left Ducati with no option to promote him to the factory team, having originally decided on signing Pramac ace Jorge Martin to replace the underperforming Enea Bastianini.

The U-turn that the Italian marque was forced into making was proof of the power Marquez commands in MotoGP, despite not winning a grand prix since 2021.

Marquez’s antics are reminiscent of his former rival and fellow MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi, who was also known for manipulating the factories to act in his favour. In this case, securing the biggest star on the MotoGP grid meant Ducati will lose out on last year’s runner-up and long-time satellite team Pramac.

Pedrosa, who was Marquez’s team-mate during a dominant phase for Honda between 2013 and 2018, believes the events of the last few months shows the ruthless nature of the 31-year-old.

“In Valentino’s case his moves have always been made a little more from the heart, with a little more love, with a little more affection for the brand, with that harmony with what he was doing,» Pedrosa told Motorsport.com Spain.

“I think Marc Marquez is making that change, going through everything, crushing everything, whatever it takes.

“Marc has said ‘I have to be in that place’, so you can see that as a good thing, to say this guy wants to win and it’s a credit to him for what he’s doing.

“And in the same way you can think the opposite. Because I don’t know how the issue of [personal sponsor] Red Bull is going to be, because we have already seen that the Honda issue is behind us.

«There are many things in between that have accompanied him during this time, mechanics and all, but he has preferred to have the winning bike than to continue with all these relationships that he has had for so many years.

“And there are people who can see that as a good thing and others who can see it as a bad thing.

“In reference to the question of the comparison with Valentino, those changes that he had, I think that he always did them more for what he felt in his heart than because he chose the winning bike, no matter what.”

A year ago, Marquez was in a dire state at Honda, struggling to get results on an RC213V that had turned into an extremely uncompetitive and crash-prone bike.

At that time, he was contracted to Honda until the end of the 2024 season, but chose to end his relationship with the Japanese manufacturer early and take a plunge with the Gresini team.

Quick adaptation and early success on his year-old GP23 bike brought him in the frame for a factory seat at Ducati.

Pedrosa, who now serves as a test rider for KTM, emphasised that the rate with which Marquez has exchanged the slowest bike on the grid to Ducati’s factory team that currently fields the most dominant machine is “impressive”.

“The other day he surprised me because he said in his statements in Assen on Thursday that he was about to retire [in 2023], and that perception had never reached me, that he was going to retire,” said the triple world champion.

“I understand that he couldn’t continue in that situation [with Honda], but that’s normal, to understand that any rider who wants to be a winner can’t stay many years in such a bad situation, as may now be happening to Joan Mir.

“In any case, the ability he has had to turn the tables is impressive. Because you have Jorge Martin, who has done everything and more to deserve that bike. I would like to think that he couldn’t have done more.

“I don’t know what weapons he [Marquez] has used, nor what the strategies behind it are, but in any case he has gone from being on the bike he had with the official Honda to, in no time at all, being on the factory bike that he has [for 2025]. And that’s difficult.”

KTM identifies main cause of Miller’s disastrous MotoGP season

Опубликовано от ASPPA IMAGES ANO


KTM has identified what could be the key reason behind Jack Miller’s disastrous run of results in the 2024 MotoGP season.

The Austrian manufacturer believes vibration issues, arising both from the new Michelin compounds and the latest-spec RC16, could explain why Miller only managed to break inside the top 10 once before the summer break.

While KTM stablemates Brad Binder and Pedro Acosta bagged podium finishes at the beginning of the year, Miller is yet to beat the fifth-place result he achieved in slightly fortuitous circumstances in Portugal.

This has left the Australian down in 16th place in the standing on just 35 points, having scored 90 points by the same stage of the championship last year.

A number of riders struggled with chattering issues as the 2024 MotoGP season began in Qatar in March, but the problem became less and less common as the year went on, as riders got their way around the problem.

However, according to KTM, both Miller and GasGas Tech3 rider Augusto Fernandez continue to lose out due to vibration on their bikes and aren’t able to extract the kind of performance they are capable of.

«[Miller] is the one who is suffering more from the vibrations of the new package than the others,» KTM team manager Francesco Guidotti told Motorsport.com’s sister title Motorsport-Total.com.

«It’s the package. We’ve been struggling with vibrations since the beginning of the year. They are due to the new package.

«Jack, like Augusto, is suffering a lot from these vibrations at the moment. He can’t utilise the potential of the bike as much as he would like to.»

Miller has been dropped by KTM for the 2025 season as part of a rider line-up shake-up, with Acosta moving up to the factory team alongside Miller and Tech3 signing Enea Bastianini and Maverick Vinales from Ducati and Aprilia respectively.

The 20-year-old was initially told privately by KTM that it wants to keep him in the team for a second tenure before being informed that he won’t get a new contract in a brutal U-turn.

Fernandez, likewise underperforming in what is his sophomore campaign, has also not been retained by the Pierer Mobility Group.

KTM is hoping that Miller will have an extra fire burning inside him as he tries to impress rival manufacturers and extend his future in the premier class.

«He will not give up,» said Guidotti. «We are now focussing on the remaining races this season and will keep trying until the end of the season. After all, we are here to win.

«He will certainly want to prove that we made a mistake by not giving him another chance.

«Of course, he will want to prove that he deserves a place in the MotoGP field, then with another manufacturer. I really can’t imagine that he will give up. He will want to enjoy MotoGP riding to the end.»

Trackhouse retains Fernandez for 2025-26 MotoGP seasons with new deal

Опубликовано от ASPPA IMAGES ANO


Trackhouse Racing has signed a new deal with Raul Fernandez that will keep the Spaniard at the Aprilia satellite squad until the end of the 2026 MotoGP season.

Fernandez has been retained by Trackhouse following a series of impressive performances on last year’s Aprilia RS-GP, including front-row starts in Barcelona and Sachsenring and four top-10 finishes in the opening nine rounds.

In fact, despite having to contend with old machinery, Fernandez scored only five fewer points than team-mate Miguel Oliveira in the opening half of the season, putting him right behind the Portuguese rider in 14th place in the championship’ standings.

Fernandez has secured a new contract with the team just as Aprilia is due to hand him the latest-spec bike for the second half of the season, albeit with an old engine due to the regulations.

He will have the newest version of the RS-GP from the get-go in 2025 as part the term of his new deal.

“I’m super happy to remain with Trackhouse Racing MotoGP,” he said. “That’s all we wanted; this new project, with Justin and Davide, is great and they have built a very good team. 

“I am delighted to hear their plans for the future as they have a clear idea of what they want to do and for me, from the beginning of the year, it was my priority to try to stay in the team. 

“At the end, I get to be here for the next two years which leaves me very satisfied but, of course, this also means we have a lot of work to do. 

“We will have the full factory material in 2025 and 2026, obviously great news and right now, we are gearing up to start with a new bike in the middle of this year, so we have to make good use of this to prepare for next year as well. 

“We need to stay calm, understand everything about the bike and see what we have to do for the 2025 season – it is very important. “

The 23-year-old is expected to be the only rider within the Aprilia fold to enjoy continuity with the Noale-based brand next year, amid major changes elsewhere at Trackhouse and the factory team.

Oliveira is likely to leave Trackhouse (previously RNF Racing) after two seasons in favour of a move to Pramac, which is set to field an all-new line-up next year following its switch to Yamaha.

The works team, meanwhile, will compete with Jorge Martin and Enea Bastianini, with incumbents Maverick Vinales moving to Tech3 KTM and Aleix Espargaro retiring and taking on a test rider role at Honda.

KTM outcast Jack Miller has now emerged as the prime candidate to take Oliveira’s place at Trackhouse and team up with Fernandez. Moto2 frontrunner Joe Roberts has also been linked to the seat.

“We are happy to secure Raul in our rider line-up for the next two years,” said Trackhouse team principal Davide Brivio.

“Having seen him at work in the last few months, we have appreciated his talent and I feel that he has been changing his approach to racing and that he is willing to work, willing to put in the effort to improve, to solve problems and this is always with a positive approach. 

“This is something that we have appreciated and it will be very important to continue for our future, having already 3 year’s experience in MotoGP and knowing the latest 2024 spec Aprilia RS-GP from Silverstone to the end of the season – it will be the best way to prepare Raul for the coming two years.

“I think we have a lot in common; the way of thinking on this project and Raul is happy with his crew, he is happy about the team direction and so there are all the conditions we need to make our challenge stronger, help get Raul to be a stronger rider and keep pushing to make Trackhouse Racing a better MotoGP team.”

I’ve always liked Rossi but Marquez is the best rider ever in MotoGP

Опубликовано от ASPPA IMAGES ANO


Fabio Quartararo says Marc Marquez is the best rider in MotoGP history over childhood hero Valentino Rossi.

Quartararo made his premier class debut in 2019 and was fortunate enough to share the track with seven-time champion Rossi during the twilight years of the Italian’s career.

In fact, the Frenchman won his maiden title in 2021 after being promoted to the factory Yamaha team in place of Rossi, who switched to the satellite Petronas SRT squad in a direct swap between the two riders.

Rossi went on to retire from MotoGP at the end of that year but continues to remain involved in the series through his ownership of VR46 team, which runs Ducati machinery on a satellite basis.

In an interview with jewellery brand TwoJeys, Quartararo didn’t hide his admiration for his childhood hero Rossi and fondly remembers the time the two spent together before he made his big break in grand prix racing.

«My idol was always Valentino,» he said. «My relationship with him was in stages. When I was seven years old, I had my photo taken. Later, when I was 15, he invited me to his ranch. And in 2021 we swapped places [in MotoGP].

«At that time the pressure was enormous because I had to take the place of the king. In my case, I have more people who inspire me, but since I was five years old, my idol has been him.»

However, Quartararo rates six-time champion Marquez ahead of Rossi in the list of the series’ all-time greats, as he praised the Spaniard for his versatility and riding style.

«I always liked Valentino, but Marc is the best ever, even if he has won fewer titles,» he said. «In 2014 [when he made his debut] he won the first ten races of the year and I thought, ‘Who is this guy?’

«And on top of it all, you put him in wet races, dry races, windy races, in good conditions or the worst, and he is always very fast.

«For me, he is the example that best describes what he is like as a rider. He is very aggressive, and when you see him riding it looks like he is a second and a half faster than you.»

Marquez will step up to the factory Ducati outfit next year to partner two-time champion Francesco Bagnaia, while Quartararo will remain with Yamaha until 2026 after signing a fresh two-year deal in the summer deal.

Rossi, meanwhile, switched to car racing after his retirement from MotoGP and currently competes in both the World Endurance Championship and GT World Challenge Europe in a BMW M4 GT3.

His VR46 squad is poised to receive one factory-spec Ducati GP25 bike, which is set to be ridden by Fabio di Giannantonio in MotoGP next year.

Ex-Honda star Pedrosa reveals chronic fatigue issue in final years in MotoGP

Опубликовано от ASPPA IMAGES ANO


Dani Pedrosa has admitted to having suffered from chronic fatigue in the final three seasons of his MotoGP career with Honda.

The 31-time grand prix winner has revealed that he was diagnosed with the same issue that compromised the career of his former team-mate Casey Stoner, who retired from MotoGP after 2012 at the age of just 27.

The Spaniard stated that it took another three years for him to fully recover from the effects of the ailment and return to the track again.

In an interview with Motorsport.com’s Spanish edition, Pedrosa shed new light on his time in MotoGP and how his physical fitness contributed to his decision to hang up his helmet in 2018.

“Like Stoner, I also had chronic fatigue in my last years in MotoGP,” he acknowledged. “The last two or three years of my career I was dealing with it.

“I stretched it out until I realised that I couldn’t get out of there and that I needed to stop racing. It took about three years to get back on track.”

Pedrosa is widely regarded as the greatest rider not to win a championship in the premier class. Hired by Honda in 2006 to spearhead its MotoGP programme, Pedrosa finished runner-up thrice in a glittering career that yielded 112 podiums and 31 poles in addition to his 31 race victories, but came short of winning the ultimate prize.

Throughout his 13 seasons in MotoGP as a full-time rider, Pedrosa was plagued by injuries that prevented him from mounting a sustained title challenge. The Spaniard ended up missing a number of races due to crashes, while he also spent a fair amount of time not being fully fit on the bike.

Now a test rider at KTM, Pedrosa again expressed his frustration at the consequences of these injuries on his time in MotoGP.

“We calculated the total time I was out of action due to injuries, and all the races I couldn’t participate in because of it, and we concluded that I would have missed about 17 or 18 Grand Prix, a whole season,’ he said.

“When I retired I had serious problems with my collarbone, it was disintegrated.Part of it was very badly damaged; the bone wouldn’t heal on its own.

“It wouldn’t solidify and couldn’t withstand all the forces I put on it. It was a very long process, and thanks to some stem cell doctors I was able to solve it.”

Miller’s lead KTM engineer set to join Honda in latest MotoGP market movement

Опубликовано от ASPPA IMAGES ANO


Christian Pupulin, who serves as Jack Miller’s technical manager at KTM, will join Honda next year and replace Giacomo Guidotti on Luca Marini’s side of the garage, Motorsport.com has learned.

With the rider market having now settled down after some bombshell announcements around the Italian GP, the focus has shifted to some of the leading engineers on the grid.

With the exception of Fabiano Sterlacchini, who has not renewed his contract with KTM for family reasons, the most common thing in these cases is for engineers and technicians to move from one garage to another, in many cases following the riders who call upon them.

However, that’s not the case with Pupulin, who joined KTM a year and a half ago after having spent almost a lifetime at Ducati, where he worked with top-level riders such as Nicky Hayden and Andrea Dovizioso, among others.

It has emerged that the Australian will not remain with KTM next year and will join Honda in 2025 to begin a new role as the engineer in charge of Marini’s bike.

Since starting a new chapter with HRC at the beginning of 2024, Marini has been working with Guidotti, who joined the Japanese marque brand in 2017 and has since engineered the likes of Dani Pedrosa, Joan Mir and Takaaki Nakagami, the last-named with the satellite LCR team.

In this regard, it is worth noting that in his talks with Honda, Marini asked HRC to give him the option of working with Santi Hernandez, who until that point had been a key figure in Marc Marquez’s entourage. Marquez had tried to take Hernandez with him, but it was a move that ultimately failed.

At that point, Mir asked Honda to assign Hernandez to him, a request which the Japanese manufacturer agreed to.

Marini ended up working with Guidotti but will have a new engineer in the form of Pupulin next year.

The change of brand for ‘Pipi’, as the aeronautical engineer is popularly known in the paddock, will not be the only major shuffle in 2025. Motorsport.com already reported a few weeks ago that Marquez will inherit Marco Rigamonti as track engineer when he replaces Enea Bastianini at the factory Ducati team next year.

Bastianini will move to Tech3 KTM, where he will be reunited with Alberto Giribuola, who was in charge of running his satellite Ducati bike at Gresini. Giribuola later moved to KTM as an engineering coordinator and remained with the Austrian manufacturer till late.

Motorsport.com expects Jose Manuel Cazeaux to assist Maverick Vinales on the other side of the Tech3 garage. Vinales had recruited Cazeaux to Aprilia after making his MotoGP debut with him at Suzuka in 2015.

At Aprilia, it remains to be seen who will be in charge of facilitating Jorge Martin’s adaptation to the RS-GP. Motorsport.com understands that one of the main candidates for the role is Daniele Romagnoli, who currently already accompanies the Spaniard at Pramac.

Despite having a contract with Ducati, the Borgo Panigale manufacturer has already told him that his services are not required for 2025.

Another engineer likely to change brands is Antonio Jimenez, who is in talks with Honda to join the team with Aleix Espargaro, who will serve as the brand’s test rider next year.

It is still unclear who will assist Marco Bezzecchi’s arrival at Aprilia, especially if Cazeaux leaves with Vinales. One of the most sought-after names is David Munoz, who made his MotoGP debut in 2021 after a call-up from Valentino Rossi.

The Spaniard is currently working with Fabio Di Giannantonio at VR46 and is set to land a factory GP25 next year as part of his current role. However, the most likely destination for the technician is Pramac, which will be racing Yamaha bikes from next season.
