Ai Ogura claimed his first MotoGP premier-class victory at the Dutch Grand Prix in Assen, leading a Trackhouse Aprilia one-two ahead of teammate Raúl Fernández. Ogura crossed the line in 40:21.905, with Fernández 2.004 seconds behind; Jorge Martín finished third. Ogura earned 25 championship points, while Fernández scored 20. Martín took 16.
The win was a major key stage for Ogura and Japanese Grand Prix racing: he became the first Japanese rider to win a premier-class MotoGP Grand Prix since Makoto Tamada in 2004. Ogura entered the premier class after winning the 2024 Moto2 World Championship and making his MotoGP debut with Trackhouse in 2025. The team competes as Aprilia’s satellite outfit, with Fernández as Ogura’s teammate.
Trackhouse’s strong weekend extended beyond Sunday’s Grand Prix. Fernández won the Assen Sprint, giving the team a one-two finish in both races. His 2026 campaign had also included a victory at Silverstone and second place at Mandalika, making him a major contributor to the team’s results.
Martín’s third place earned him 16 points, nine fewer than Ogura’s 25, as the championship battle involving Martín and Marc Márquez continued. Those race points show the immediate effect of the Assen result, while keeping the Grand Prix classification distinct from the championship standings.
The Dutch GP followed a weekend of strong Aprilia form in qualifying, where Jorge Martín secured his first pole of the season amid Aprilia’s strong showing. At Assen, Trackhouse’s riders finished first and second, with Martín completing an all-Aprilia podium.
Assen is a long-standing fixture on the MotoGP calendar, and the 2026 Dutch Grand Prix added a landmark result to its history. Ogura claimed his maiden premier-class win, while Trackhouse showed it could turn strong weekend pace into results in both the Sprint and Grand Prix.
