Ai Ogura’s Comments
“This weekend was unbelievable overall. Qualifying went well, and both the Sprint and the main race were fantastic. I’m really grateful to my team, and I hope we can keep working like this moving forward.”
“It’s a great way to start the season, but I’m still a rookie, so I don’t expect things to go as smoothly at every track. Riding behind the top riders was a valuable experience. Today, I was following Franco, and I learned a lot from him.”
“The team analyzes my riding data and provides feedback on areas for improvement, and I’ll keep working to refine my performance.”
With a strong debut in Thailand, Ogura now looks ahead to the next rounds, determined to continue his progress in his rookie MotoGP season.
