Ogura out
The Aragon Grand Prix scheduled for this weekend will not see the presence on track of Ai Ogura, forced to miss the appointment in Spain due to an injury sustained during training. The Japanese rider of the Trackhouse team, replaced on this occasion by Lorenzo Savadori, suffered a fracture in the thumb area of the left hand, but in recent hours good news has arrived for #79, at least of an extra-sporting nature.
