He particularly stood out with his podium finish at the French Grand Prix and his ability to reach the top ranks in challenging tracks like Mugello. However, the Japanese pilot emphasized that he still needed to work harder to reach the summit.
Ogura’s Strong Start and Challenging Tracks
Ai Ogura made a strong start to the 2026 MotoGP season. Throughout the weekend of the first seven races, he finished in the top five a total of seven times. This performance is considered an important achievement, especially for sprint races and major events. His first podium at Le Mans was one of the most significant milestones in his career. In challenging tracks like Mugello, his 4th place was noteworthy.
Focusing on Technical Details: A New Test at Balaton Circuit
This weekend’s races will continue at the Balaton Park Circuit in Hungary. The difficulties he experienced here last year and finishing 11th constituted an important lesson for Ogura. The technical team is conducting comprehensive analyses to ensure the pilot performs better on this track and making necessary adjustments.
“I Had Problems Everywhere!”
Ogura, during a press conference before the Grand Prix, commented on his past experiences at Balaton Park: “Actually, everywhere! Last year I had problems in all sections of this circuit.” This statement shows that the pilot fully understands the difficulties of the track and will make intense efforts to improve.
"Eigentlich überall! Letztes Jahr hatte ich auf dieser Strecke in allen Abschnitten meine Probleme", chuckled the Japanese man at the press conference for the Hungarian Grand Prix on Thursday. “It’s not easy for me here. Let's see how it goes this year. It’s very important to start well on Friday morning.”
Locking in Speed and a Championship Goal
Ogura drew the attention of many top riders during the second half of the race with his incredible speed. However, he admitted that he had performed slower in the first part. “Let's see how it goes this year. It’s very important to start well on Friday morning.” He clarified his goals by saying: "I just need to be faster. I feel like I'm in safety mode, but I don't want to. I need to break through this barrier and go faster at the beginning of the race.”
Competition with Bezzocchi and Jorge
The 25-year-old pilot said, “We always strive for better positions, but currently Bez and Jorge are doing much better than me. I have to work harder!” This statement shows that Ogura is aware of the intensity of the competition and needs to make more effort to reach the top.
