A MotoGP rider🌼 has found himself under perhaps unexpected duress from his teammate’s𝔍 form.

The first rule of racing is always to beat your teammate but a rookie’s eye-catching first races have put renewed focus on the more experienced riꦚder next to him.

Ai Ogura burst into MotoGP with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Trackhouse Racing by qualifying fifth i🎶n the season-opening Thailand round, then registering P4 and P5 finishes.

Ogura thought he had backed up thﷺat impress🗹ive debut with a P8 in the grand prix in Argentina until a strange infringement saw him disqualified.

“He’s a guy who, throughout his career, has been overlooked because he isn’t jazz-hands or ‘look at me’,”ꦬ TNT Sports’ Neil Hodgson said.

“He’s a quiet and shy individual.

“All of a sudden, his personality has been allowed to come out🐈. He’s a wry character.”

Trackhouse rider 'under pressure'

Suzi Perry said about Ogura: “He’s glass half-empty. Any interview pre-race൩ he’ll tell you all of the negatives. He 🍰isn’t somebody who says ‘this circuit will suit me’.”

Micha🎐el Laverty said: “He is modest and understateℱd, but fast!”

Hodgson added: “Whe♑n journalists ask him ‘what do you need to improve?’ He gives one-lin🐭ers like ‘I need to be faster!’

“His quirky personality is rea𝄹lly starting to shine.”

But the success of Ogura has brought new attention to his teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Raul Fernandez.

Now in his fourth🎃 premier class season, he achieved a personal-best🀅 16th in the championship in 2024.

“[Ogura] puts huge pressure♒ on Fওernandez’s shoulders,” Laverty said.

“Raul has had a few years of experience in MotoGP now. He’s had a few crashes, he has led laps, but he’s never delivered the performance that Ogura did at the T🍌hailand MotoGP. It heaps the pressure ont𝕴o Fernandez, he has got to deliver.

“It’s great for Trackhouse to get Ogura. People were critical of the decision but it’s been proven to be the right ꦿone.”

Trackhouse, the US-backed satellite project of Aprilia, were linked with Amerꦇican rider Joe Roberts last year.

However, they instead chose Oguℱra which surprised many paddock insiders.

Their faith in the Japanese rider has so far been justified - even if it has pileᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚd the scrut🌊iny onto teammate Fernandez.
