Trackhouse Entertainment Group owner Justin Marks says he is 'super bummed' about Ai Ogura leaving the team to join Yamaha's factory squad for 2027. Ogura joined Trackhouse in 2025 fresh off his Moto2 championship and currently sits third in the standings despite a crash at Silverstone.
It's rare for a team owner to reach for a word like 'bummed.' From what I've seen trackside, over the two years since winning the Moto2 title, Ogura's consistency changed completely — steady from corner entry to exit. No surprise Yamaha wants him.

Looking at his ranking climb since 2025, this move tracks.
Guess Yamaha's finally getting their lineup sorted with this, right?
Sitting third in the standings and they're letting him go? Feels like a waste.
What kind of rider is Ogura anyway?
Ogura landing a factory seat is genuinely exciting.
Wild how fast he went from Moto2 champ to this.
