Ogura Shatters Expectations at Assen | F1 News

Ai Ogura just shattered expectations at Assen, becoming the first Japanese rider to win a MotoGP race on a non-Japanese bike — and now he’s within striking distance of the championship, just 25 points behind the lead. After months of struggling to qualify near the front, Ogura found his rhythm, grabbing pole and then victory at Assen with a calm, tire-smart ride that even rivals compared to Eddie Lawson. His Aprilia RS-GP, now the bike to beat on fast tracks, powered a stunning one-two for Trackhouse, while the championship has tightened into a six-way battle with just 55 points separating the top contenders. This could be the most thrilling fight in MotoGP in a decade. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
