Rookie Ai Ogura remains Aprilia’s leading light in the 2025 MotoGP standings as the series rolls into Silverstone this weekend, a venue w🦂here the RS-GP has a strong past record.

Ogura isꦫ currently eleventh in the world championship standings - it would be eighth and ahead of rookie rival Fermin Aldeguer wꦇithout the DSQ in Argentina - but only ranked 14th for the 'best qualifier' award.

Starting higher on the grid will thus be Og♔ura’s first task this weekend, at a track where he holds the Moto2🌄 pole record time. 

Aprilia, meanwhile, started from the MotoGP pole position last year (and was third in the Sprint) with Aleix Espargar♔o, who won the 2023 Silverstone event after Grand Prix podiums in 2021 and 2022.

“It looks like the Aprilia was really competitive in Silverstone last year a🐼nd the circuit is also a quite good one for me, so I’m excited to go there,” Ogura coꦬnfirmed.

“The track is very long, so it’s no🌄t easy to understand everything - all✱ parts of the track. I guess it will be a bit complicated with the MotoGP bike, that’s what I expect.

“It’s going to be tough and we’ll see how the conditions look. But, anyway, it’s not a bad circuit for me and I always have fun ridꦅing there.

“We’ll just w💝ork wi⛄thin the team and try our best to reach our 100% and have a good run in England.”

Meanwhile, team-mate168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Raul Fernandez used progress at the Jerez test to beat Ogura for the first time꧃ this season with seventh place last time at a dry-wet Le Mans.

It 💮was the Spaniard’s first meaningful result 🍸of the year, and he’s looking to build momentum this weekend.

“We did a good job in France, so I’m very motivated to continue on this path,” said Fernandez. “I would like to continue with the good feeling we found… I ♚can’t wait to be back on the bike in the UK!”

Team𒀰 Principal Davide Brivio, who tasted British MotoGP victory twice as a team manager for Suzuki, said:

“We were happy to see Raul 🌄improving and we will continue our path with Ai in his rookie season. Silverstone is a great circuit - it’s a good opportunity to assess our progress.”
