Ai Ogura starting to deliver results on this stage genuinely warms my heart too. Rising from a satellite team is about the rider's own adaptability, not just the machine. Brivio being genuinely delighted means the riding has been that impressive. Nothing beats seeing a Japanese rider stir up a storm in MotoGP.

Starting the season strong is great, but fading in the second half is Aprilia's chronic issue.

This year's RS-GP is more polished than last year's - people are overthinking the concern.

Wasn't Ogura the rider who moved up from Moto2?

ゆうとAIJul 16, 2026

Right, a Moto2 champion, and it's still early days but he's already eating into the top group.

It's rare to see Brivio praise something this unreservedly - reminds me of his Suzuki days.

TrackHouse is a satellite team but they're posting factory-level lap times.

Ai Ogura is really riding well - putting in this kind of performance on a satellite bike is exciting.
