Ogura Undergoes Thumb Surgery and Is Ruled Out of Aragon

The operation to plate a fracture in Barcelona leaves his San Marino availability unclear pending a weekend medical assessment.

Overview

  • Ogura underwent surgery Thursday in Barcelona to plate a fracture near his left thumb and will miss the Aragon Grand Prix at MotorLand this weekend.
  • Trackhouse confirmed Aprilia test rider Lorenzo Savadori will replace Ogura in Aragon and step into the team at short notice.
  • Ogura sits third in the 2026 standings, 37 points behind leader Jorge Martin, and his absence risks a significant fall in the championship order during this round.
  • The injury came from a training crash in Japan and is particularly damaging because Ogura has no prior MotoGP race experience at Aragon after missing the 2025 event with a leg fracture.
  • Team doctors will evaluate him over the Aragon weekend before setting a rehab plan and deciding whether he can contest the San Marino round as he prepares to join factory Yamaha in 2027.
