Ai Ogura was seventh in the Qatar Sprint and remarks: ‘There’s too much difference between the front riders’

The Japanese Trackhouse rider finished seventh in the Qatar Sprint race, but recognised the huge gap to the front-runners. Ai Ogura was realistic about his chances for Sunday’s main race.

Ai Ogura managed a respectable seventh place in the Qatar Sprint race, taking advantage of the drop in performance of the riders who opted for the soft rear tyre. ‘I think the riders in front of me used the soft rear tyre. I started to struggle after four, five laps, and they dropped off a lot, and I just wanted to overtake these kind of rers. And I mean, it was good, seventh in the Sprint, but there’s too much difference to those in front,’ explained the Japanese after the race.

Asked about his expectations and strategy for Sunday’s main race, Ogura remained cautious about his chances of significantly improving his result: ‘We can improve on small things, but to get into, say, the top five, I think it’s almost impossible. We’ll see. But most likely tomorrow [today], everyone will be using the medium rear tyre,’ he said.

As for the possibility of big changes in the balance of power in the long race, the Trackhouse rider doesn’t antecipate radical changes in the competitive scenario: ‘I don’t think there will be a big difference compared to this race because those who chose the soft rear tyre mean they don’t have the confidence to go fast with the medium, so they don’t like it very much,’ he said.

‘And tomorrow [today], they have to use medium rear tyres. I don’t think there will be a big difference,’ concluded Ogura, suggesting that the hierarchy established in the Sprint should not change significantly in Sunday’s full race.
