MotoGP rookie admits one result is “killing me” after “nothing special” 2025
Ai Ogura admits that his best result in his rookie MotoGP season, achieved in his first race, has caused him doubts about his potential. Despite being a surprise signing by Trackhouse Aprilia, he started the 2025 campaign strongly in Thailand. Following strong performances in Buriram, Ogura was a frontrunner for rookie of the year, but struggled with injuries and form later in the season. Reflecting on his debut year, he felt that his strong start didn’t boost his confidence as expected. Despite doubts, he ended the season with positive performances and sees a bright future ahead in MotoGP. Ogura described his first year as “nothing special” but remains optimistic for the future and is looking forward to his second season. He noted that nothing has surprised him in his rookie season, as he always prepares for the worst-case scenario.
