Japanese rider Ai Ogura will make his <a href="https://www.autox.com/moto-gp/">MotoGP</a> debut in the 2025 season after signing a two-year contract with Aprilia satellite team, Trackhouse. The announcement was made on Thursday during the Austrian Grand Prix. The 23-year-old has demonstrated exceptional talent, securing third place in the 2020 Moto3 World Championship and finishing as runner-up in the 2022 Moto2 Championship. Ogura's continued success is evident in his current Moto2 campaign, where he has claimed two victories and holds the second position in the standings. Joining Raul Fernandez at Trackhouse, Ogura forms a promising young rider lineup. With the departure of Miguel Oliveira, the team will field two riders on identical Aprilia RS-GP motorcycles, mirroring the factory Aprilia Racing team's equipment. This strategic alignment positions Aprilia for a competitive advantage in the MotoGP World Championship over the next two seasons.

Ai Ogura said: ‘First, I would like to say thanks to all the people who are part of this project and everybody who supported me. Of course, this is the dream! The final step to take. MotoGP is the maximum level you can have, so I’m obviously really happy to make it there. I’m very happy to be able to race in the top class and I can’t wait to do it together with the Trackhouse Racing MotoGP Team. I can see that the team is really competitive and the bike is very strong and as a rider, my job is doing what I can with everything I have. It’s always the same mentality but I’m very happy to be part of Trackhouse and make this step up to MotoGP with them - I’m just looking forward to start 2025. Now I have to think about the Moto2 World Championship. I’ll try to finish this year the best way I can and arrive well-prepared in 2025. Thank you everybody and see you next year!’

<h2>MotoGP: 2025 Rider Market</h2>

With the 2024 MotoGP season nearing its midpoint, the rider market for the following year is heating up. While only five seats remain unconfirmed, the overall picture for the 2025 grid is becoming increasingly clear.

Valentino Rossi's VR46 Ducati team is set to field a promising pairing, with Franco Morbidelli joining the squad alongside newly minted factory Ducati rider Fabio Di Giannantonio. Meanwhile, the Gresini Racing MotoGP team will undergo a significant change as Fermin Aldeguer, a rising star from Moto2, will likely replace Marc Marquez, who is heading to the factory Ducati team.

With Ogura confirmed for Trackhouse racing, it is more likely that Thai racer Somkiat Chantra will likely join LCR Honda. Additionally, the Pramac Racing team is set for a major overhaul as they switch from Ducati to Yamaha machinery. Miguel Oliveira is expected to join the team, with Jack Miller also rumoured to be part of the new line-up following his departure from KTM.

As the 2024 season progresses, fans can anticipate further official announcements that will finalise the 2025 MotoGP grid and set the stage for what promises to be an exciting and competitive championship.

MotoGP: Trackhouse Racing Signs Ai Ogura as Miguel Oliveira's Replacement

Japanese rider Ai Ogura is currently second in the Moto2 standings. With Ogura set to join Trackhouse Racing, Thai racer Somkiat Chantra is now more likely to move to LCR Honda.

Trackhouse Racing has announced a multi-year contract extension with Spanish rider Raul Fernandez, confirming his position within the team until the end of the 2026 MotoGP season. Fernandez’s impressive rookie campaign, marked by strong qualifying performances and consistent points finishes, has earned him the confidence of the team. Despite competing with older machinery, his competitive spirit and ability to extract maximum performance have been evident. To further support Fernandez’s development, Trackhouse Racing will provide him with upgraded equipment for the remainder of the 2024 season. While regulations restrict the use of the latest engine, the team will supply the rider with the most recent chassis specification. From the 2025 season onwards, Fernandez will be equipped with a full factory-spec Aprilia RS-GP.

Team Principal Davide Brivio said: 'We are happy to secure Raul in our rider line-up for the next two years. Having seen him at work in the last few months, we have appreciated his talent and I feel that he has been changing his approach to racing and that he is willing to work, willing to put in the effort to improve, to solve problems and this is always with a positive approach. This is something that we have appreciated and it will be very important to continue for our future, having already three year’s experience in MotoGP and knowing the latest 2024 spec Aprilia RS-GP from Silverstone to the end of the season – it will be the best way to prepare Raul for the coming two years.'

Raul Fernandez said: 'I’m super happy to remain with Trackhouse Racing MotoGP. That’s all we wanted; this new project, with Justin and Davide, is great and they have built a very good team. I am delighted to hear their plans for the future as they have a clear idea of what they want to do and for me, from the beginning of the year, it was my priority to try to stay in the team. At the end, I get to be here for the next two years which leaves me very satisfied but, of course, this also means we have a lot of work to do. We will have the full factory material in 2025 and 2026, obviously great news and right now, we are gearing up to start with a new bike in the middle of this year, so we have to make good use of this to prepare for next year as well. '

<h2>MotoGP: Who Will Partner Raul Fernandez?</h2>

While the 2024 <a href="https://www.autox.com/moto-gp/">MotoGP</a> grid is undergoing a significant shake-up, 23-year-old Raul Fernandez is enjoying a rare moment of stability. The Spaniard will remain with the Aprilia-backed Trackhouse Racing team for the next two seasons.

This continuity stands in stark contrast to the upheaval affecting both Trackhouse and the factory Aprilia squad. Miguel Oliveira is likely to leave Trackhouse for Pramac, which is set to field a completely new rider lineup next season. Meanwhile, Aprilia's factory team will feature Jorge Martin and Enea Bastianini, replacing Maverick Vinales and the retiring Aleix Espargaro.

Vinales is heading to Tech3 KTM, leaving a potential vacancy at Trackhouse. Jack Miller, currently without a ride, is a strong contender to fill Oliveira’s seat and potentially partner with Fernandez. Moto2 star Joe Roberts is also being considered for the position as the team finalizes its rider roster.

MotoGP: Raul Fernandez to Continue with Trackhouse Racing, Signs Multi-year Extension Contract

Raul Fernandez will stay with the Trackhouse Aprilia team for the 2025 and 2026 MotoGP seasons, announced during the summer break, just before his debut on 2024-spec factory machinery at Silverstone.

Davide Brivio, who previously led Alpine's Formula 1 squad, will be returning to MotoGP as the team head for the brand-new Trackhouse Racing outfit. Even though there were rumours that Brivio could be joining Honda, he has decided to join the new American team instead. After three years at Alpine, where he filled a variety of jobs, Brivio decided to join Trackhouse. While CEO Luca de Meo had Brivio serve as Formula 1 team racing director, he has since spent the past year and a half managing Alpine's young driver programme. He will succeed PJ Rashidi, who was originally named director of the American squad.

<h2>MotoGP: Davide Brivio</h2>

There is little need to introduce Brivio's acclaimed status among the top two-wheel World Championship racers. A legendary character, he was revered for his masterful management of five MotoGP Riders World Championships and four Constructor's crowns, spanning two brands. When Brivio showed interest in the team's new initiative, Trackhouse quickly recruited him because of his exceptional background and record of success. In 2020, Brivio achieved his greatest MotoGP success to date. This triumph came before his unexpected move from the MotoGP Paddock to Formula 1.

<img alt="Davide Brivio" height="720" src="/uploads/2023/12/Davide-Brivio.jpg" width="1280" />

Davide Brivio, Team Principal: "It all happened very quickly in the last days with Justin asking me to help Trackhouse in the MotoGP challenge. It’s so exciting to be a part of this new project since the beginning and I’m really looking forward to get to know Trackhouse more and see what we can bring in MotoGP from the successful vision and experience that this company has in other sports and environments. It could be a great combination of the two worlds. Now, it’s just one more test to go, almost time to go racing and we will try to support as much as we can our two talented riders Miguel and Raul and have fun. In the last few days everything has happened very quickly and before I could not say where I was going but hey, it’s great news and we will start working quickly!"

Justin Marks, Team Owner said: "It’s incredible to have someone of Davide’s caliber and experience leading the Trackhouse Racing MotoGP Team. All of us at the company are humbled by the commitment he has made. It became apparent the moment I met Davide that he would be someone that fits perfectly in the Trackhouse culture. I know he will lead us to great things on and off the racetrack."

<h2>MotoGP: Trackhouse Racing</h2>

<img alt="MotoGP Trackhouse Racing 8 " height="720" src="/uploads/2024/02/MotoGP-Trackhouse-Racing-8-.jpg" width="1280" />

Pitbull and Justin Marks's NASCAR team, Trackhouse Racing, has an outstanding record in North American competition, having won six Cup Series races among other trophies. Due to unexpected difficulties caused by CryptoDATA's actions, which made RNF's situation untenable, the team's plans to enter MotoGP were accelerated from 2025. Although Trackhouse Racing had planned to join MotoGP in 2025 and had investigated the possibility earlier in the year, they were forced to enter the international motorcycle racing arena early.

Trackhouse Racing took advantage of the changing conditions to enter MotoGP by acquiring the assets and staff of the former RNF team. Because of this calculated approach, <a href="https://www.autox.com/motorsport-news/motogp-trackhouse-unveils-distinctive-american-themed-livery-for-2024-season-115966/">Trackhouse Racing is now in a prime position to take over the MotoGP stage</a>.

Miguel Oliveira and Raul Fernandez, who are now signed riders for Aprilia, have chosen to stay associated with the team under the Trackhouse label, which is an intriguing move. It is anticipated that this partnership will strengthen Aprilia's position and ability to compete in the MotoGP competition.

With Brivio at the helm, the Trackhouse Racing crew is sure to be an integral part of Aprilia's RS-GP development and progression in 2024. Justin Marks's crew has officially asked <a href="https://www.autox.com/motorsport-news/motogp-trackhouses-miguel-oliveira-to-ride-same-2024-aprilia-bike-as-vinales-and-espargaro-115701/">Miguel Oliveira and Raul Fernandez to provide two 2024 factory specs RS-GP motorcycles</a> so that they can work together. It is worth mentioning that both riders have decided to stay with the satellite outfit, smoothly moving from RNF to Trackhouse. Despite the organisational shifts, the roster remains consistent and comfortable thanks to this continuity.

MotoGP: Davide Brivio to Lead Trackhouse Racing's Newest Project as Team Principal

Brivio has decided to commit to the new Trackhouse team despite many rumours linking him to a possible move to Honda. This American team has taken over RNF and CryptoDATA's submission for this year's racing grid.

Miguel Oliveira is set to ride a factory Aprilia in the upcoming 2024 season, as confirmed by Aprilia CEO Massimo Rivola and Oliveira's father, Paulo Oliveira. As per the reports, he is expected to be provided with the identical Aprilia RS-GP that Maverick Vinales and Aleix Espargaro will utilise in 2024. A further piece of evidence supporting this choice is Trackhouse's recent MotoGP debut, where they will replace the RNF squad as Aprilia's affiliate. It has been made quite plain by team owner Justin Marks that he intends to supply his riders with the latest Aprilia motorcycles.

It seems like Oliveira will make his debut with this top-tier machinery in the very first round of the 2024 season, rather than the less experienced Raul Fernandez, as was previously expected. The story states that Fernandez will start the year on an RS-GP23 with an engine specification for 2024 and switch to an RS-GP24 later in the season. Aprilia boss Rivola is willing to lend his team's backing to Trackhouse after seeing the value in data exchange with Espargaro and Vinales. There is a catch, even though Oliveira's new beginning is fantastic. At the first 2024 MotoGP race in Qatar, he'll have to serve a long-lap penalty.

<h2>MotoGP: Miguel Oliveira's 2023 Season</h2>

<img alt="MotoGP RNF Rider Miguel Oliveira jpg" height="720" src="/uploads/2023/05/MotoGP-RNF-Rider-Miguel-Oliveira.jpg" width="1280" />

After leaving KTM for the CryptoDATA RNF Aprilia squad in 2023, Miguel Oliveira had one of his more miserable seasons in MotoGP since he debuted in 2019. After the RS-GP's winning streak in 2022, expectations were sky-high for Oliveira, but he was disappointed. His good start to the Portugal GP's Sprint race was cut short in the main event due to a collision with Marc Márquez, which left him with a leg injury and unable to participate in the Argentina GP. After a promising fifth position in Austin, he repeated the performance in the Sprint race of the Spanish Grand Prix. However, he was unable to participate in the French Grand Prix due to a dislocated shoulder he sustained in an accident with Fabio Quartararo in Jerez.

In the second half of the season, Oliveira's competitiveness plummeted due to his qualifying challenges, team problems, and a bike that was stuck in the 2022 specification. By the end of the championship, Oliveira had finished in sixteenth place.

In North American NASCAR, Trackhouse Racing, a venture co-owned by musician Pitbull and Justin Marks, has achieved six Cup Series victories, among other noteworthy achievements. The team was compelled to accelerate its ascent into the international motorcycle racing arena, despite having initially intended to compete in MotoGP in 2025 and having visited the paddock earlier this year to look into the possibility.

Unforeseen challenges arising from CryptoDATA's actions rendered RNF's position untenable, prompting Trackhouse Racing to expedite its transition to MotoGP.&nbsp;

As a result of acquiring the staff and assets of the former RNF squad, Trackhouse Racing will effectively run the show. It is worth mentioning that Miguel Oliveira and Raul Fernandez, who are presently contracted riders for Aprilia, have decided to maintain their affiliation with the team under the Trackhouse banner. This development will serve to strengthen Aprilia's standing in the MotoGP championship.

MotoGP: Trackhouse to get 2024 Aprilia GP Bike for Miguel Oliveira, Same as Vinales and Espargaro

Oliveira is set to receive priority treatment at Aprilia Racing over Fernández, as the latter will initially start with an Aprilia RS-GP23 featuring a 2024 engine specification, transitioning to an RS-GP24 later in the season.

Trackhouse Racing owner Justin Marks has confirmed the extension of his contract with Aprilia and is actively advocating for Miguel Oliveira and Raul Fernandez to secure factory MotoGP bikes in 2024. Oliveira and Fernandez, who were members of RNF in 2023 until the team was kicked out of the MotoGP for breaking its participation agreement, will be on the squad this year. At the launch event, an Aprilia with a Stars and Stripes design similar to Nicky Hayden's was on display, albeit the race livery has not yet been revealed. Carlos Ezpeleta, Dorna's chief sporting officer, Massimo Rivola, CEO of Aprilia, and Dan Rossomondo, Dorna's chief commercial officer, were among the notable participants.

Justin Marks, speaking to the media, highlighted the multi-year contract that Trackhouse Racing has signed with Aprilia. This shows that the team prefers stability versus making decisions every year all over again.

Massimo Rivola, CEO of Aprilia's racing division, had a significant role in the team's announcement presentation earlier this month in Italy. The level of cooperation that the two organisations hope to achieve is demonstrated by this position.

According to Trackhouse Entertainment Group's announcement, MotoGP will be “managed by Trackhouse Entertainment Group from Nashville, Tennessee but operate in Noale, Italy in an alliance with motorcycle manufacturer Aprilia and the Piaggio Group,” according to its announcement.

Trackhouse Racing, co-owned by Justin Marks and musician Pitbull, boasts significant achievements in the North American NASCAR circuit, including six Cup Series victories. Originally slated for a MotoGP debut in 2025, the team expedited its entry into international motorcycle racing, prompted by unforeseen challenges arising from CryptoDATA's actions. Despite initial plans to join MotoGP in 2025, the team explored this avenue earlier in the year with a visit to the MotoGP paddock.

The hastened transition to MotoGP became imperative due to the adverse impact of CryptoDATA's actions, rendering RNF's position untenable. In a strategic move, Trackhouse Racing will seamlessly integrate the personnel and resources of the former RNF squad, assuming operational control.

In a significant continuity move, contractual riders for Aprilia, Miguel Oliveira and Raul Fernandez, will persist with the team under the Trackhouse label, solidifying their presence in the MotoGP championship. This strategic manoeuvre ensures a smooth transition and underscores Trackhouse Racing's commitment to success in the international motorcycle racing arena.

MotoGP: Trackhouse Racing  Solidifies Multi-Year Extension with Aprilia, Targets Two Factory Bikes

Trackhouse Racing assumed the contractual arrangements with Aprilia, the bike supplier, and retained the majority of the personnel from the CryptoDATA RNF structure, demonstrating a keen readiness to forge ahead.

Trackhouse Racing, an entity based in the United States, will compete in MotoGP in 2024 as a satellite team for Aprilia. This is a replacement for the RNF squad, which has since disbanded. Dorna Sports made it plain after the 2023 MotoGP season ended that RNF would not be allowed to continue competing in the series after 2023. Based on "repeated infractions and breaches of the Participation Agreement affecting the public image of MotoGP," the decision was announced officially. The problems began when CryptoDATA, the largest stakeholder and title partner of RNF, failed to meet its sponsorship commitments for the Austrian Grand Prix, which caused a number of team suppliers' debts to be unpaid.

<h2>MotoGP: About Trackhouse Racing</h2>

Notable accomplishments in North American NASCAR include six Cup Series victories for Trackhouse Racing, which is co-owned by Justin Marks and the musician Pitbull.

Trackhouse Racing accelerated its transfer to MotoGP in response to the unexpected difficulties brought forth by CryptoDATA's actions, which made RNF's position untenable.&nbsp;

By inheriting the previous RNF squad's personnel and resources, Trackhouse Racing will essentially take over its operations. Notably, Miguel Oliveira and Raul Fernandez, who are currently contractual riders for Aprilia, will remain with the team under the Trackhouse label, further establishing their position in the MotoGP championship.

<h2>MotoGP: What did the Respected Parties have to Say?</h2>

Trackhouse Racing founder and owner Justin Marks said: “Joining the MotoGP World Championship is a very exciting moment for our young company. Trackhouse has worked from day one to recognize unique and compelling motorsport opportunities and being able to expand to a global series like MotoGP is a massive step in scaling the company. We believe deeply in the mission of Dorna and are committed to bringing something new and exciting to the championship while working hard to help grow and amplify this amazing sport to millions of new fans in North America and beyond.”

<img alt="MotoGP Trackhouse Racing 3 " height="720" src="/uploads/2023/12/MotoGP-Trackhouse-Racing-3-.jpg" width="1280" />

Aprilia Racing CEO Massimo Rivola said: “We are happy and proud to welcome Trackhouse into the Aprilia Racing family. What they have been able to build in a very short time in NASCAR is an extraordinary presentation card, which anticipates the potential of this partnership. This is thanks to Justin Marks and his team, whom I got to know through my long-time friend PJ Rashidi, and with whom we were immediately in sync both in terms of technical ambitions and marketing and communication developments in such an important market as the US. Our commitment will increase significantly, a responsibility we gladly take on because, I am sure, it will allow us to grow even more.”

Dorna Sports Chief Sporting Officer Carlos Ezpeleta said: “We’re super happy to welcome Trackhouse to MotoGP. We know this new team is a perfect fit for our sport: they’ve already shown they know how to win and arrive with a great personality. In the most competitive era the sport has ever seen, it’s even more vital than ever to have strong Independent Teams on the grid with solid projects. Trackhouse working with Aprilia, who will offer extensive support, is a really exciting prospect too. The RS-GP is a winning motorcycle and the combination of the bike, factory and Trackhouse’s approach with this team is something super exciting for MotoGP fans everywhere. We can’t wait to see Trackhouse come racing with us.”

Miguel Oliveira (#88) and Raul Fernandez (#25), two riders with potential futures, will be riding Aprilia RS-GPs for Trackhouse Racing in the forthcoming season. Oliveira has won many MotoGP races. The entire 2024 livery will be shown at the beginning of the next season, but the squad celebrated its inauguration with the unveiling of a symbolic bike crafted after the American flag. This design honours the legendary history of American motorcycle racing by paying respect to the testing colours that Nicky Hayden formerly wore.
