Ogura Shatters Lap Record in Brünn: More Time Needed to Analyze Rivals
During the first training day in Brünn, Ogura delivered a surprising performance, making his mark in the motorcycle racing world. Ogura, who is expected to win the 2027 Moto2 Championship and is only three points behind Marc Marquez, quickly established himself at the top of the track with an unexpected burst of speed during his first test with the customer Aprilia team.
Initial Impressions in Brünn: Exceeded Expectations
Ogura’s performance, particularly his success on his MotoGP debut, had surprised many teams and riders. Racing 21st in the RS-GP in 2025 and failing to score any points, Ogura adopted a different strategy this time, setting a new lap record on the track. This drew particular attention from Yamaha management; the Japanese rider, who will be competing with an 850cc M1 motorcycle in 2027, gifted the new team manager Francesco Guidotti a fantastic start.
Time and Analysis Required: Ogura’s Comments
Following the session, Ogura emphasized that the pole position would not be determined until Saturday, stating he needed more time to fully understand his performance. “It was a very beautiful session, but the pole position will only be decided on Saturday.” He also discussed the time lost in turn two and the feedback he received from his crew chief: “Especially in sector two, I am losing time – that’s what my crew chief already told me.”
Hot Weather Advantage: Aprilia's Strong Performance
Ogura attributed his success to the hot weather conditions. He stated that the higher temperatures arriving in the afternoon had created an advantage for him. This supported Aprilia’s strong performance in Brünn; Raul Fernandez, who also advanced to Q2, and Jorge Martin, who finished 11th, were also notable results.
Conclusion: Record Lap and a New Beginning
Ogura broke the lap record during the first session and made a perfect start to the race weekend with a double victory. As Ogura himself emphasized, he still has enough time to secure pole position, and will continue his efforts to further develop his performance.
