CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team rider wants to end his bad streak and return to the podium at the Thai GP

The Thai Grand Prix offers Ai Ogura his second chance to win the Moto2 World Championship. The Japanese had his first match point in Australia last week, where he needed to score sixteen points more than Sergio García before he could start considering his distance to his other seven more rivals. Now, the math is much easier as there are only three riders left who can spoil his party in Buriram. The Japanese rider has a 65-point lead over his closest rival Aron Canet and 66 over Fermín Aldeguer and Sergio García, who are tied in third and fourth place. With 50 points at stake when the GP ends, the Japanese rider depends on himself to be champion and a top-five finish is enough for him. Throughout the season, Ogura has shown great consistency and, out of the seventeen races contested, he has only finished outside the top five on five occasions. In fact, he has ended in the top four in the last five races.

CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team rider Jake Dixon travels to Thailand with a clear objective: to put an end to his latest poor run of results. In the last four GPs, the British has been very competitive both in practice sessions and in qualifying. However, in the race, luck has not been on his side. In the last four races he has only managed to score three points: he crashed in Misano, Indonesia and Australia, while in Japan the rain ruined his plans when he started from pole. The British has already shown this season that he is capable of turning around the most difficult situations and that is what he will fight to do in Thailand. This weekend, Dixon wants to be back in the top positions and thus return to the fight for the podium, where he has not been since his victory in the Aragon GP. His teammate Izan Guevara also comes to Thailand with the challenge of getting back into the points. The CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team rider had shown great progress in recent races, but last week in Australia he was unable to continue that pace and finished just off the points. In Buriram, the Spanish will work to be competitive from the start and complete a good weekend to face the final stretch of the year with confidence. Last season, Guevara completed a great comeback that took him from twenty-sixth place to ninth position and this year he will fight to finish in the top ten again.

Jake Dixon: “We will see what we can do in Thailand. I do not want to say anything because it seems to be that when I say something, the outcome is then completely the opposite, so we will focus on working and fighting for a good result. We will give our best and see what happens.”

Izan Guevara: “In Thailand we were competitive last season and we finished in ninth position. In the race I made a mistake in the second corner, I dropped almost to the last position and I fought back to the top 10. I am going to go for it from the start, I want to get a great result."
