One MotoGP rookie’s assessment of potential 2026 factory promotion
Trackhouse MotoGP rookie Ai Ogura dismisses talks of a potential Aprilia factory move by saying, “I don’t care.” Reports suggest Jorge Martin is seeking to break his contract with Aprilia following the French Grand Prix. Aprilia denies any discussions of a contract breach and maintains that their agreement with Martin is valid until 2026. Speculation now arises about the rider market for next year, with rumors suggesting Martin may join the factory Honda team. If Martin leaves, one option for Aprilia could be promoting Ai Ogura to the factory team. Ogura, currently with Trackhouse Racing, expressed contentment with his current team and stated that joining the factory team would make him happy but is not his immediate focus.
