Trackhouse Racing are set to complete their 2025 MotoGP rider line-up with a rookie from Moto2.

But it's not Joe Roberts, reports , as Ai Ogura is set to win the race to become teammates with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Raul Fernandez, who re-signed on Tuesday. 

A deal is yet to be finalised, however, the 💮report says Ogura has reached a verbal agreement with the American team.

Roberts, who like Ogura is a title contender in Moto2, was expected to be the rookie of choice, had Trackhouse gone 🍃the route of Moto2.

But despite several conversations with the California-born rider, Trackhouse appear set to snub the chance⭕ of putting an American on their machine.

The other contender was Jack Miller𝐆, who could be on his way out of MotoGP ✱if he fails to secure a ride at Pramac Yamaha.

The biggest surprise with Ogura joining Trackhous🤡e, is the fact he was part of Ho🍃nda's plans going forward.

Ogura was seen as the natural successor to Takaaki Nakagami at LCR, but with Trackhouse set to secure Ogura'💫s services, Nakagami will now be expected to stay put. 

Honda twice toyed with the prospect of having Ogura aboard their bike - 2023 and a🌺gain in 2024 - however, the young Japanese rider rejected the move due to the lack of competitiveness and because he wanted to move up as Moto2 champion.

Ogura wil🐟l be the third new rider to join Aprilia after Jorge Martin and Marco Bezzecchi were signed to the factory Aprilia Racing team.
