Most recent race
The 25-year-old delivered a brilliant performance, winning the Netherlands MotoGP at Assen on 28 June, becoming the first Japanese premier-class winner in 22 years.
Ogura took control in the closing stages to secure a famous victory for Trackhouse Aprilia.
MotoGP ambitions
The former Idemitsu Honda Team Asia rider sits fourth in the 2026 MotoGP Riders’ standings with 168 points.
Ogura trails championship leader Jorge Martín by 25 points and is just 18 points behind Marco Bezzecchi in second.
Why Ai Ogura could win the German MotoGP
Fresh off his emotional maiden MotoGP victory and brimming with confidence, the first Asia Talent Cup graduate arrives at Sachsenring in red-hot form.
Sachsenring also suits his smooth, precise riding style, and with Aprilia’s strong package this season, Ogura will be one of the riders to beat this weekend.
Quotes
“This first victory means a lot to me – a lot to us. When I crossed the line there was so much happiness and satisfaction. From the last race I was really close to a first position – finally we got it here and I’m just so happy,” Ogura after winning the 2026 Netherlands MotoGP.
“During the race, I unlocked the rear device in turn one and somehow between turn one and turn three it activated again, I don’t know why but, luckily, I got it back to normal after that.
“To be honest, I didn’t expect that much of a fight between me and Raul and I lost so many positions at that time it was difficult to catch up.”
