Trackhouse Racing are set to complete their 2025 MotoGP rider line-up with a rookie from Moto2.

But it's not Joe Roberts, reports , as Ai Ogura is set to win the race to become teammates with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Raul Fernandez, who re-signed on Tuesday. 

A deal is yet to be finalised, however, the report says Ogura has reached a verbal agreement with the A♐merican team.

Roberts, who like Ogura is a title contender in Moto2, was expected to be𒀰 the rookie of choice, had Trackhouse gone the route of Moto2.

But despite several conversations with the Califorꦏnia-born rider, Trackhouse appear set to snub the chance of putting aꦰn American on their machine.

The 🉐other contender was Jack Miller, who could b🥃e on his way out of MotoGP if he fails to secure a ride at Pramac Yamaha.

The biggest surprise with Ogura joining Trackhouse, is the fac🌃t he was part of Honda's plans goi♔ng forward.

Ogura was s🐈een as the natural successor to Takaaki Nakagami at LCR, but with Trackhouse set to secure Ogura's services, Nakagami ꦗwill now be expected to stay put. 

Honda twice toyed with the prospect of having Ogura aboard their bike - 2023 💖and again in 2024 - however, the young Japanese rider rejected the move due to the lack of compe♋titiveness and because he wanted to move up as Moto2 champion.

Ogura wiꦯll be the third new rider to join Aprilia after Jorge Martin and Marco Bezzecchi were signed to the factory Aprilia Rac✱ing team.
