Meanwhile, Hiroshi Aoyama will continue to manage both teams.
“In the Moto2 category this year, Chantra has performed well and I look forward to our rider Chantra achieving even better results in 2020. I am confident that he will succeed next year.
In the Moto3 category, Ogura has shown solid progress throughout the season despite it being his first year participating. I believe he will secure a better position in the standings next year. His teammate for the upcoming season, rider Kunii, is also very fast. With their competition and mutual support, I believe our riders will move forward together with good results. Our three riders are truly talented. The whole team will support them to the fullest in the upcoming season,” said Hiroshi Aoyama.
