Ayumu Sasaki
Ayumu Sasaki (佐々木 歩夢, Sasaki Ayumu; born October 4, 2000) is a Japanese Grand Prix motorcycle racer currently competing in the Moto2 class for the Dutch RW Racing Team. He most recently competed in Moto3 from 2016 to 2023, where he finished runner-up in his final year in the category behind eventual champion Jaume Masià.
In 2015, Sasaki was the Asia Talent Cup champion and also competed in the 2015 Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup, winning a race in Silverstone, and finishing in 2nd twice, and 3rd twice, finishing the season third in the standings.
In the 2016 Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup, Sasaki won four races, finished on the podium eleven times during the thirteen races, and never finished outside the top four, winning the title by 49 points.
In the 2016 Moto3 World Championship, Sasaki made his Grand Prix debut with the Gresini Racing team at the Malaysian Grand Prix as the replacement rider for the injured Enea Bastianini.
Sasaki was signed up to race in the 2017 Moto3 World Championship for Sepang Racing Team, partnering Adam Norrodin. Sasaki had an impressive rookie campaign, finishing in the points eight times, twice in the top ten (8th place in Mugello, and 7th at Phillip Island), and ended up winning rookie of the year, scoring 32 points, finishing 20th in the standings.
Staying with Sepang SIC Racing Team for the 2018 Moto3 World Championship, Sasaki basically copied his 2017 campaign: he finished in the points eight times, his two best finishes were a 7th place in Austria, and an 8th place in Qatar, and finished the season 20th in the standings, with 50 points.
For the 2019 Moto3 World Championship, Sasaki would stay with Petronas Sepang Racing Team, but would be partnered by John McPhee. Sasaki improved, with five top-ten finishes (5th in Argentina, 6th in Britain, 7th in Australia, 8th in Barcelona, and 9th in Germany), 11-point scoring finishes, a Pole position at the Sachsenring, finishing the season with 62 points, and 20th in the standings.
Sasaki switched teams for the 2020 Moto3 World Championship, signing with Red Bull KTM Tech3, to partner Deniz Öncü. Sasaki and Öncü were very evenly matched during the year, Sasaki collecting 52 points, and Öncü 50. Sasaki finished in the points eight times, in the top-10 three times, and scored his first career Moto3 podium at Aragón, seeing the checkered flag in 2nd place, just 0.051 seconds behind Jaume Masiá.
