Trackhouse introduces Raul Fernandez and Ai Ogura’s 2026 MotoGP
Trackhouse, the newest team on the MotoGP grid, unveiled their new bike, the Aprilia RS-GP, this Wednesday. This will be something like Noale House’s official team bike, as is already the case in the 2025 season. The event served as a preview of what colors the bikes of Japan’s Ai Ogura and Spaniard Raul Fernandez will wear this season.
The American team, founded by Justin Marks and with roots in the NASCAR Cup Series, has chosen the Italian city of Milan, home of Aprilia, to unveil its bike livery for the 2026 season. This will be his third season in the premier category, arriving in 2024 on behalf of RNF Racing.
The double decoration of the team in the first photo is impressive. Fernandez’s machine, numbered 25, is decorated with the blue color that the team usually wears, while #79 Ogura’s machine is distinctively orange, which incorporates the colors of American oil brand Gulf. According to the team, the special Gulf bike will be seen at five Grands Prix of the season, the first two in Thailand and Brazil, as well as Italy (Mugello), Malaysia and Indonesia.
Davide Brivio’s team will once again trust in Raul Fernandes and Ai Ogura and aim to continue improving and growing. Trackhouse has already performed well last year, especially with Fernandes. The Madrid native took advantage of the aerodynamic improvements on his Aprilia RS-GP to take his first victory in the long MotoGP race at Phillip Island in the second half of the 2025 season, and also finished second in the sprint race.

The Racing Bulls team had a filming day at the track today with a car for the 2026 season.
It was planned to complete 40 laps, but due to difficult conditions it was possible to complete 30 laps: 21 laps by Arvid Lindblad, 9 by Liam Lawson.
While the average lap time was 1:50.0, the team did not use the full engine life, limiting the speed at which they could test the systems. For comparison, Oscar Piastri’s pole position at the same track in 2025 under favorable conditions was 1:14.670.
While the first races were delayed by 2 hours and 30 minutes due to ice on the track, one of the drones monitoring the process was damaged during the operation.
The shooting day was an important part of the team’s preparations for the 2026 season; This allowed the team to test new aerodynamics, tire behavior and powertrain performance in a variety of conditions, as well as work on the team’s logistics and procedures in limited weather conditions.

According to the Motorsport.com portal, former MotoGP world champion Jorge Martin has had to undergo two surgeries in recent weeks to repair an injury sustained last season, putting his participation in the Sepang pre-season test (February 3-6) in serious jeopardy.
The first of these interventions was to correct an injury to the navicular bone in my left hand that I sustained last February. The second patient had his right clavicle repaired, which was fractured during the Japanese GP sprint race on September 27th. Martin had already undergone surgery for both injuries, but his recovery did not go as expected. After undergoing another surgery to correct the problem, he is recovering well, but the question now is deadline. Time is running out before the Sepang Test.
Over the last month, Jorge has been alternating his strength recovery sessions at the gym. He has not ridden a bike since the Valencia test last November. And although he is working hard and pushing the deadline, it seems unlikely that he will arrive in time for the pre-season session at Sepang (February 3-6), although there is also a possibility that the former world champion will come to Malaysia following Aprilia’s evolution and the team’s official presentation. The other thing is their competition on the circuit just in case.
If Martin does not arrive on time, Noale’s test and development driver Lorenzo Savadori will replace the Spaniard at Sepang.

Formula 1 has made significant changes to the broadcast of two pre-season tests in Bahrain ahead of the start of the 2026 season, which will see the Australian Grand Prix open.
While the championship begins preparations for a new era in powertrains with the first of three tests, F1 returns to the tracks next week. Official races will take place in Barcelona, where each team will have the right to practice three days from Monday to Friday.
After that, the peloton will head to Bahrain, where two more three-day tests are planned. The first of these will take place on February 11-13, and the second will take place on February 18-20 at the Bahrain International Circuit.
It was previously assumed that both Bahrain tests would be published in full. However, Formula 1 has now revised these plans.
According to the current F1TV schedule, during the first testing week in Bahrain there will be only one hour of broadcast per day, starting at 15:00 BST. At the same time, the second three-day test will remain unchanged – it will be released in full as planned.
