Trackhouse Racing rider, Ai Ogura, will get to compete at one of his favourite tracks this weekend in his team's home Grand Prix.

After impressing in the first two rounds of the 2025 MotoGP World Championship, Ai Ogura will get to race at one of his favourite circuits.

The MotoGP rookie has been the top Aprilia rider across the line at the Thai and Argentine Grand Prix. However, he was disqualified last time out due to a technical infringement.

The Japanese rider could secure a sensational result at the Circuit of the Americas if his weekend goes anything like Maverick Vinales' did in 2024 when he rode for the Aprilia Racing squad.

"I finally have the chance to ride the MotoGP bike at the Circuit of the Americas, which is one of my favourite circuits of the calendar and I’m super excited to go there," Ogura said.

"The track is very nice, the lap is long with a layout has a lot of different types of corners, so maybe it’s good to see what I learned from Thailand and Argentina. 

"Up to now, we are having really good races, really good sessions and we are still on the way to learning a lot of things.

"The target stays the same; gain as much knowledge as I can and be better every time I hit the track. I’ll just keep working and have fun on the track.

"It’s the team’s home GP, so I’ll try to bring some good results for the fans and give my maximum."

Team director Davide Brivio said: "What happened to Ai in Argentina [with the ECU technical infringement] is behind us, what remains for sure is a great performance from him and this fantastic beginning of the season.

"His talent is coming out and it will be very nice to keep up this momentum and also to have a good performance in Austin.

"This will be our target; to get there, to honour our home Grand Prix in front of all Trackhouse fans, so we can’t wait to get to Austin and will try to get an exciting weekend."
