Ai Ogura, currently third in the MotoGP championship standings, will not participate in the Grand Prix of Aragón due to a hand injury suffered during a training session in Japan.
The rider, who has recently returned from his hometown, has been diagnosed with a fracture in his left hand that will require surgery. This has been confirmed by the SuperFile Trackhouse MotoGP team in a statement, announcing that the rider will be replaced on the Motorland track by Lorenzo Savadori, who is a test rider for Aprilia.
Ogura was injured while training near Tokyo, and the fracture was detected during a medical check-up conducted in Europe. The surgery is scheduled for this Thursday.
Ogura’s absence poses a complication in his fight for the title, after losing important points due to an accident at Silverstone last week. He is currently 37 points behind the championship leader, Jorge Martín.
With this confirmed absence, Ogura may fall back in his title dispute, a situation that concerns both his fans and the team.
