Yamaha has reportedly decided to sign Ai Ogura for the 2027 MotoGP season, replacing veteran rider Alex Rins.
The exclusive report indicates that the Japanese manufacturer is looking toward the future by bringing in younger talent.
Alex Rins will finish his current tenure with the team before making way for the rising Japanese star.
Ogura has been a standout performer in junior categories, making him a prime candidate for a factory seat.
This move aligns with Yamaha’s long-term strategy to revitalize its performance and challenge for world titles again.
The transition marks a significant change in the team’s dynamic as they move away from their current experienced pairing.
Official confirmation of the deal is expected to follow as the teams finalize their rosters for the upcoming regulation cycle.
