Manu González to make MotoGP debut with Aprilia during Monday's Aragón test
According to information obtained by Aprilia will give Manuel Gonzalez his MotoGP debut during the collective test taking place this Monday at Aragón. The Madrid-born rider, current leader of the Moto2 World Championship with the Intact GP team, will step in for Ai Ogura at Trackhouse, Aprilia's satellite squad. This weekend, the American outfit will field only Raúl Fernández at Motorland while waiting for the recently operated Ogura — recovering from surgery on his left leg — to return, potentially in time for the Mugello round in two weeks.

However, the day will undoubtedly serve as a prime opportunity to assess how he might handle such a promotion.

Raúl Fernández — Ogura's teammate at Trackhouse — is also expected to take part, as is Lorenzo Savadori, who has had to step up his testing duties to fill in for the sidelined #1 rider. González made his Grand Prix debut directly in Moto2 in 2021, following a stint in the junior ranks of WorldSBK. In 2022, during his first full World Championship season, he raced for the Yamaha VR46 Master Camp team, securing three top-five finishes. His first career win came last year in Japan, racing with Gresini in a weather-affected Grand Prix. To read more articles visit our website.

Man gets 6 years, 8 months for Stella's Sandtrap crash
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — A man who led police on a brief, high-speed chase that ended with a vehicle crashing through the wall of east Bakersfield bar Stella's Sandtrap was sentenced to prison Wednesday morning, according to court records. Manuel Gonzalez, 23, was sentenced to six years and eight months after pleading no contest to charges of drunken driving and evading a peace officer causing injury. The crash occurred shortly after midnight on June 16, 2024, after police tried to pull over an Audi A4 in the 2000 block of Niles Street for illegally tinted windows. The Audi sped off and a chase ensued that reached speeds of more than 80 mph, according to court documents. The Audi's lights turned off as it entered the intersection of Niles and Oswell streets on a red light, police said. It hit a Chevy Suburban traveling north then careened into the parking lot of Stella's Sandtrap — barreling into a parked car and knocking it through a wall. Multiple patrons were injured, none seriously. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
