A surprise entrant to Q2 in the first MotoGP qualifying session of 2025 has been predicted.

New 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Trackhouse rider Ai Ogura⛄ h꧑as been tipped to go well in his first premier class race.

Moto2 champi🎃on Ogura is entering his rookie season in MotoGP, which begins in Thailand next week.

“He’s going to be a huge fan favourite. He’s straight to the🦩 point, really calm in how he operates,” D꧑orna’s Jack Appleyard reported from the Buriram test.

“N🦩ot only with us, but with Aprilia. And even with the really hi🐠gh ranking Aprilia guys.

“They 🗹have been so impressed with his way of wor🐽king throughout the shakedown.

“They have seen before, when a rookie comes in with an adrenaline rush of being on a MotoGP bike for the first time. They come into the box an🌠d you can’t shut them up.

“Ai? The total opposite. One of the Aprilia guys witnessed som🐼eone walking across to him, after he came in, to understand what he was feeling.

“But he just said ‘give me a moment’. He sat with his thoughts, processed them. When the momen🌄t 🌺was right, he explained."

Aprilia impress at Buriram test

“The timesheets [on Day 2 in Buriram] are impr🀅essive," Jack Appleyard continued. 

"Marco Bezzecchi set the fastest Aprilia lap around this place. And wa🔜s only half-a-second away from the all-time lap record at a🤡 place that has been Aprilia’s Kryptonite.

“Ogura was only three tenths behind on his second day of r💃iding a MotoGP bike here.

“There are people in the Trackhouse sqಞuad thinking they could ha💞ve a great year ahead of them.

“Particularꦺly at Round 1 - it’s not out of the question for Ogura to automatically into Q2 at his debut⛄ grand prix.

“There’s a real chance that it could happen.”

Aprilia turned 🦂around a nightmare s🐟tart to testing.

In Sepang, Jorge Martin and Raul Fernandez sustained injuries on Da🅘y 1.

Fernandez w🀅as able to gingerly return in Buriram but Martin missed the rest of testing.

In Martin's absence, factory rider Bezzecchi and 🔯satellite rider Ogura delivered eye-catching lap times which bodes well for next weekend's race.
