Ai Ogura Wins 2024 Moto2 World Championship

Ai Ogura clinched the 2024 Moto2 World Championship at the Chang International Circuit, finishing second to Aron Canet but securing enough points to capture the title two rounds early. Ogura’s triumph marks a significant achievement as he becomes the first Japanese rider to win an intermediate class title since 2009, using the Speed Up-engineered Boscoscuro chassis. Meanwhile, in MotoGP, Jorge Martin holds a 20-point lead over Francesco Bagnaia, with a tight competition expected at the Thailand Grand Prix. Marco Bezzecchi led the opening practice session, narrowly ahead of Martin, while Marc Marquez, who was fastest in Friday practice, remains a notable contender. The Thai MotoGP race weekend is anticipated to be challenging due to potential thunderstorms and the demanding circuit conditions. David Alonso continued his record-breaking streak in Moto3, winning his 12th race of the season.
