One day of testing has left Scott Ogden in a positive mindset ahead of his season with CIP Green Power.

Scott Ogden has moved to the CIP Green Power squad for the 2025 Moto3 season. The British rider will switch from the MLav Racing Team, who he spent three years with.

The French team made Ogden feel welcomed and he believes is the perfect place to 'help him grow'. The 21-year-old spoke exclusively to BSN about his time at MLav Racing *Insert link to previous article*, and his latest move to CIP Green Power.

"I had a few offers and CIP, for me, seems like a family team," Ogden told BSN. "They have a lot of belief in my ability, and they would do anything for me as such. And I've seen that over the last probably 2 or 3 weeks just whatever they can help me with, they will help me.

"That for me made it an easy choice because maybe their results haven't been the best. But I don't think that's on the team. I think that's on other things.

"I truly believe that atmosphere can help me grow as a rider and I should be able to fight, not for a world championship, I don't think, but at least fight for more front-running spots and hopefully podiums."

'I was super happy with the test.'

Ogden was present at the Jerez Test with the CIP Green Power squad and was able to ride the KTM for the first time. When discussing his time with his new team and bike the British rider was very positive about the one-day experience.

"For me, it was a really positive test," Ogden explained. "The bike was better than I expected, honestly. I did really like the Honda, for the three years I was on the Honda, but I can see why the results are there with the KTM.

"It was so much faster out of the corners, and it didn't really lack in areas where I thought it would lack. So, the test was positive.

"To even take me to the test was so good, and I was thankful for that because it gave me the opportunity to know what I have to improve and know what they have to do with the settings and the bike to help me. It's given me now 3 months to work on that before the next test.

"So, I'm really happy with the change. I think it's exactly what I need for my future and I was super happy with the test."

'I think if I improve and get used to this bike, there's no reason why we can't be a front-running team.'

CIP has been present in the Moto3 World Championship since the 2013 season. The French team have plenty of experience which Ogden believes will be able to aid his journey in Moto3.

Ogden referenced their 'drive to win' as a factor of why he decided to sign with the experienced squad.

"The team, to me, seems super," Ogden said. "I was with Aspar in the Junior Championship and CIP is on that level, if not even better because just the way that they want to win and their drive to win is just incredible. 

"The crew chief that I have next year, he's got so much experience with [Tony] Arbolino and [Ivan] Ortola in the past.

"He's got a lot of data that I can analyse as well and try to improve my own riding style, whereas these last couple of years, I haven't really had that. So, I think the experience can take me to the next level.

"I think if I improve and get used to this bike, there's no reason why we can't be a front-running team, and I can't be a front-running rider next year."

'If I finished, in the top eight in the World Championship, that would be amazing.'

Across his three years in Moto3, Ogden's best result was a 20th-place finish in the standings. However, with his new move the British rider is hoping to drastically improve on where he has been in the past.

"I think if I finished, in the top eight in the World Championship, that would be amazing," Ogden explained.

"Because, okay, one race, two races to get a podium, in Moto3, it all depends on how the shuffle is. But if I can constantly be in that front group and finish in the top 8 in the world championship, I would be over the moon.

"I think it's also a nice step to then look at going maybe up a class the year after or stay in the class another year."
