In Austin, a technical problem had stopped his relentless march towards the podium, yesterday, however, Ogura fell while he had dropped back to seventh place after an unfortunate start where he found himself with the rear brake still active in Turn 1.
Ogura took full responsibility for a Sunday where he ended up behind the blackboard: “I made a small mistake, I braked at the same point and with the same pressure, but with a slightly different angle which caused the front wheel to lock and then the fall – Ogura explained – it was not easy to recover positions after a bad start”.
