MotoGP rider Ai Ogura is set to miss the San Marino Grand Prix at Misano due to a fractured left thumb. The injury was sustained during a motocross training session in Japan during the summer break.

Following surgery in Barcelona, medical professionals have advised Ogura to delay his return to racing to ensure full recovery. Trackhouse Racing principal Davide Brivio confirmed the team is following medical advice, with a potential return targeted for the Austrian Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring.

Due to the absence of Ogura and the unavailability of test rider Lorenzo Savadori, Raul Fernandez will be the sole representative for Trackhouse at the Misano circuit. The injury impacts Ogura’s championship campaign; he currently sits fifth in the standings, 53 points behind leader Jorge Martin.
