MotoGP reporter Jack Appleyard caught up with Trackhouse MotoGP team boss Davide Brivio in pitlane on Friday afternoon, and one of the topics was their 2027 line-up. The rumour mill continues around the musical chairs expected for next season, with little confirmed, but one thing Brivio would put on record is who won\u2019t be racing with the team: Ai Ogura.<\/p>\n
\u201cAi has told us he’s not continuing with us next year; it’s not for me to say where he’s going. So yes, we potentially have one spot available for next year.\u201d<\/p>\n
Asked about who they\u2019re looking to contract to replace Ogura, Brivio was also pretty open \u2013 hinting that they\u2019re looking around the MotoGP grid with experience.<\/p>\n
\u201cI always like to work with rookies and to see them growing up,\u201d says the Italian. \u201cI feel that in the moment where Trackhouse is now, with this competitive bike, and we can try to aim for good results, it’s a time to try and get an experienced rider ready to go for the podium and to maybe try and win races. It looks like the bike can allow this to happen. It’s time to use this potential.\u201d<\/p>\n
The confirmation that Ogura will be leaving Trackhouse comes the day after Alex Rins confirmed he\u2019d been told he would not have a place in the Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP Team next season either. The rumour mill connects the two \u2013 but nothing is officially confirmed.<\/p>\n
