Trackhouse team principal Davide Brivio believes the American outfit has “good ingredients” for its second MotoGP campaign.

Bꦗrivio, who oversaw MotoGP titles for 🔯Yamaha (Valentino Rossi) and Suzuki (Joan Mir) before moving to Formula One, was tempted back to two wheels by the newly formed Trackhouse project a year ago.

It proved a challenging campaign with Miguel Oliveira and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Raul Fernandez just 15th and 16th respectively in the world championship and Trackhouse ahead o🎃f only H💮onda in the teams’ standings.

But Brivio is confident the team has much firmer foundations for 2025, when Fernandez and new team-mate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Ai Ogura will have the latest factory-spec machines 🍃from the start of this year.

“The first year was a learning♍ year🍷, especially also for Trackhouse as an organisation,” Brivio said.

“An𝐆d now facing the 2025 season we have a lot of new things, startin♍g from Aprilia. We’re quite excited to see the ‘25 bike. It looks promising.

“The new [Aprilia] technical director [Fabiano Sterlac꧒chini] is giving new energy, a new way to approach things. And so we are excited to see where we can go [with the 2025 bik📖e]."

An🍃other indirect boost is Aprilia's🌄 signing of new world champion Jorge Martin.

“Of course, the factory team with the reigning MotoGP world champion is also kind of stimula🌼ting. It’s a great benchmark for 🥃us to understand where we are and how the bike is performing.”

“A refreshed Raul Fernandez”

Trackhouse’s 2024 highs included Fernandez briefly leading in Catalunya and a double frꦐont row in Sachs𝕴enring, where Oliveira finished runner-up in the Sprint.

But Trackhouse’s best grand prix result was a fifth for Fernandez - w𝔉ho was upgraded from the ’23 to ’24 spec RS-GP during the summer break - in the wet Buriram race.

Brivio underlined that they had re-signed Fernandez “because he’s a great talent. We think he has the potential and, to be honest, now the challenge is𒆙 to use his potential.

“Raul is doing probably a different winter compared to the past. He is changing his way ⛎of training 🍰and it was a winter where he could think about what can be improved.

“What was the mi🔜stake last year? What can be done better? What was working? And so we are discuss♓ing, talking, chatting and I hope we will have a kind of refreshed Raul Fernandez in MotoGP.”

"Great talent” Ai Ogura

Joining Fernandez will be 23-yeaꦡr-old Japanese Ai Ogura, who rewarded Brivio and Trackhouse’s faith by going on to win last year’s Moto2 title.

“We took a decisio♛n to go for a rookie rider and Ai Ogura I think is a great talent,” Brivio said. “He demonstrated that last year when he went on to win the Moto2 title.

“We’re very excited to have him, to be honest. He has a great approach. He’s very committed to racing, very serious about it. And I'm very happy to start this exp💝erience with him.

“So 🌼we have two young, talented riders. Hopefully, we're also going to have a💙 better bike in the 2025 Aprilia.

“I will tell🀅 you in a few races, but it looks like there are good ingredientsꦜ to try to do something. So we will work on that...”

As a rookie, Ogura 𝓡will be eligible to ride in the Sepang Shakedown test, which starts at the end of this month.

Fernandez and the full 2025 field will then take to the Malaysian track duringꦍ the following official test.
