Trackhouse will be eager to fill their rider vacancies for next year
We learned recently that Ai Ogura would be leaving Trackhouse for Yamaha in 2027, leaving the team with the unfortunate task of recruiting a new rider for next season.
Fabio Di Giannantonio is an option for Trackhouse as a replacement for Ogura next season, as the Italian rider is currently facing frustration with VR46.
Moto2 star Izan Guevara is being eyed by Trackhouse as a potential replacement, as he has shown similar promise to Ogura.
Whoever Trackhouse choose to recruit for next season, he will have some big shoes to fill, considering how well Ogura and the team are doing this season.
