Is this the under-the-radar team to watch at Spanish MotoGP?
Davide Brivio says Jerez represents an important moment for “where we are, what we can do” in the 2025 MotoGP season🎐.
This weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix not only represents the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:MotoGP’s first European event since last year’s﷽ Barcelona finale, but a ke🐓y checkpoint in understanding the pecking order for the 2025 season.
That’s according to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Trackhouse Aprilia team principal Davide Brivio, whose squad arrives with rookie Ai Ogura having taken Aprilia’s be꧋st race results of the season so far.
That came in the form of fifth (Sprint) andꦛ fourth (GP) in the Buriram season opener. The three rounds since have been less successful, but Ogura has managed a t🅺op ten appearance in one race per weekend.
Meanwhile, Ducati riꦑders have filled the podium in all eight races - after Maverick Vinales’ tyre penalty in Qatar - with the RS-GP currently locked in a close battle💮 with Honda, Yamaha and KTM machinery for best of the rest.
“Of💃👍 course, Jerez is a traditional appointment for MotoGP and we are happy to start to race in Europe,” Brivio said.
“Also, it’s an important moment where I think we will start to understan🍸d the ‘values’ within this season; where we are, what we can do.”
Ogura experienced his toughest race in the premier-class la🐲st time in Qatar, crossing the line in 15th.
Bu🦂t the Japanese has fond memories of Jerez, where he claimed victory in the Moto2 class in 2022 and took a win on Moto3 machinery back in 2017 during the Spanish CEV Junior Championship.
“Finally, we are coming to Europe,” said Ogura.
“Jerez is one of my🎃 favourite circuits in Spain... I just can’t wait to start the weekend at another circuit – we build up, little by little and so I’m looking forward to starting here.”
Team-mate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Raul Fernandez is searching for a breakthrough after being out𓆏paced by Ogura in all four rounds so far this season.
“First of all, I would like to feel com♏fortable on the bike,” admitted Fernandez, who has💦 a best GP result of twelfth this year.
“Right n๊ow, we couldn’t find anything to be really fast... It will be crucial to feel good on the bike again and to be fast because until now I couldn’t exploit the maximum potential of the bike.”
Factory Aprilia r🍌ider Marco Bezzecchi is the leading Aprili🍸a rider with seventh place in the world championship but is only three points ahead of Ogura.
Peter has been in the paddoඣck for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki e✤xit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
