The Japanese rookie from Trackhouse explained that he intends to work on his position on the bike during Monday’s test, an area where he has already achieved significant improvements between Saturday and Sunday.
Ai Ogura, revealed that he has a clear priority for the test taking place this Monday in Jerez: improving the ergonomics of his Aprilia. The Japanese rookie, who finished in eighth position in the Spanish Grand Prix, had already made changes in this area between Saturday and Sunday’s races.
When asked about what he intends to work on in the post-race test, Ogura was direct. ‘First one I wanna do is the position on the bike, work on the ergonomic because that’s what I changed from yesterday to today. And I improved a lot, in the straight braking. So we can have another step tomorrow [today]’, explained the Aprilia rider.
When asked if the changes concerned the handlebars or the tank, the Japanese detailed the modifications. ‘HandleBar and the seat. So it’s I rise a bit handlebar and I make a bit flat the seat’, he said.
Ogura was confident that the modifications will be beneficial in the medium term, not just in Jerez. ‘But what’s good because I think it will work in many in many kind of circuit, like Austria, Le Mans, and so it was positive day for us’, concluded the Japanese rider, who has been one of the revelations of this season’s start.
