In a recent post on X ‘Álvaro González’ posted a video of Ai’s bike and wrote, “This is how Ai Ogura’s motorcycle looks Today, during the Moto2 tests in Jerez, the Japanese rider suffered a very serious fall. Luckily, he is fine.” [Traslated by Google Translate]
What happened with Ai Ogura?
The incident occurred at turn two of the circuit. Ogura’s bike collided with the asphalt, tearing it apart. One part of the motorcycle was flung into the air and got stuck in the catch fence meant to protect the audience. The other half lay on the ground, a testament to the force of the crash. Fortunately, Ai Ogura emerged unharmed from this terrifying ordeal.
The MT Helmets-MSi team, to which Ogura belongs, addressed the incident on social media. They admitted to having “a good scare” with Ai Ogura but reassured fans that everything was “perfect” with the rider himself. Unfortunately, the same couldn’t be said for the motorcycle. The fork was left hanging on the protective fence, and the Boscoscuro sustained extensive damage.
