Lorenzo Savadori will race in place of Ogura. For the rider from Emilia, this will be his second seasonal appearance after Jerez de la Frontera.
For Ogura, this is a significant setback, which will make him lose very precious points. The Japanese rider had made consistency his prerogative, and after the Silverstone crash, he needed to regain momentum. Now, with a 37-point deficit that will almost certainly widen, Ogura’s championship dream becomes much more complicated.
