PHENOMENAL MUGELLO RESULT: MARC MARQUEZ SAID ‘PASS WASN’T CLEAN’ TO AI OGURA
The exciting race at Mugello Circuit in Italy saw Honda rider Marc Márquez stand out with his battles, particularly in the final corner, while Trackhouse Aprilia rider Ai Ogura made a striking assessment afterward. During one of the race’s key moments, Márquez’s maneuver, which caused him to deviate from the ideal line during his attempt to pass Ogura, led to the comment “the pass wasn’t clean” between the two riders.
Race Details and Critical Moments
At the start of the race, Trackhouse Aprilia rider Ai Ogura participated in the battle for third place behind Marco Bezzecchi and Jorge Martin. In the final corner, Pecco Bagnaia’s courageous attack Ducati pilot did not yield results, but Ogura saw the flag in fourth place. One of the most eye-catching moments of the race was the duel between Márquez and Ogura.
Márquez finished seventh for most of the race. With the advantage of the tires he used in the final section, he managed to approach the front group. However, when he tried to overtake Ogura, both drivers deviated from the ideal line. Ogura commented, “Yes, the pass wasn’t clean.”
Ogura’s Statements and Assessment
The Japanese pilot stated that Márquez had released his brake pressure after noticing him and that this had made the situation more complicated. “Marc released the brakes when he saw me. Turn 10 is one of the most critical points on the track from a front tire perspective,” said Ogura. “It was too late to change my decision, but I couldn’t brake harder because I felt like I was going to fall. That’s why I had to release the brakes too, and we both went outside the line.”
Ogura’s Strategy and Performance
Ogura preferred a more controlled pace in the early part of the race compared to the riders in the leading group. This allowed him to remain strong in the final laps and to overtake the drivers ahead of him. “The riders in the top three used their tires more at the beginning of the race to create a gap. I didn’t do that, and therefore I had a little more performance left at the end of the race,” he said.
A New Turn in the Championship Ranking
With his fourth-place performance at Mugello, Ogura rose back into the top five of the MotoGP world championship ranking. The Trackhouse Aprilia rider managed to overtake his teammate Raul Fernandez, who won the Sprint race.
Post-Race Assessment
“There are many positive points to take from this weekend at Mugello. There are also important lessons to be learned from Friday and Saturday,” said Ogura.
