Trackhouse team principal Davide Brivio has confirmed that discussions are underway to give Moto2 title leader Manuel Gonzalꦅez a surprise MotoGP debut in Monday’s Aragon test.

Brivio stressed that the opportunity is not an audition for a future race seat, but simply ‘a gift’ made possible by the team having a bike and crew available due to 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Ai Ogura’s leg injuries.

“It’s not 100 percent confirmed but yes we are working on that, we are🌃 trying to define the details to see what is possible,” Brivio told MotoGP.com during Sunday’s warm-up𒉰 at Aragon.

“It’s very simple. We had the bike here, there is a test day tomorrow and we thought maybe it would be nice to give an opportunity to a young rider to 😼test a MotoGP bike.

“Manu Gonzalez is leading the championship in Moto2 so he is doingꦉ a g🌳ood season and deserves it.

“But there’s no speculatio💟n [for 2026] we have both riders under contract. We’re not looking for a new rider and Manu cannot race in Mugello, ඣin case Ogura is not [fit].

“So there’s nothing more. We’re happy to make a present, a gift to a young boy because we think testing a MotoGP bike is a unique opportunity. And that’s it.

“Unfortunately, we are aware it will also start some speculation, rumour. This is the anno🦩ying part – to be honest – which made us wonder whether it’s better to do or not.

“But in the end, we said, okay, it’s nice𝄹, let’s make a present and that’s it.”

While Ogura has shown impressive potential so far in his r🐭ookie season, team-mate Raul Fernandez is currently just 18th in the world ch📖ampionship.

Meanwhile, there is uncertainty over the fut🍃ure of reigning world champion Jorge Mar🎉tin at the factory Aprilia team.

“This is just a Trackhouse activity [not Aprilia],” Brivio stressed. “Of course, we would like to do it for a few guys, not only one, bu🐷t this time is for him and maybe next time another.”

Diogo Moreira, fifth in the Moto2 standings, is anothe🍰r name rumoured to have been considered for the Trackhouse test.

However, Brivio said: “No, we’ve only been in contact with Manu. There are a few riders that would deserve this chance, but we can’t🅘 have a group test. One rider is better than nobody.”

Trackhouse is expected to officially confirm Go🏅nzalez's MotoGP test by the end of today (Sunday).

Although Trackhouse has both its riders under contract for 2026, Gonzalez has been linked with a possible MotoGP seat at Pramac next year, alongside the to-be-announced deal for WorldSBK champion Toprak Razgatlioglu.
