Career

Early career

O'Gorman was born in Portlaoise, Ireland. He stood out in British small-bike championships during his early career and later competed in Spanish development program Cuna de Campeones. He made his first appearance in the European Talent Cup in 2019 at the age of 12, but failed to qualify for the Sunday race. In 2020, he returned for four races in the same category, narrowly missing out on points in the final round at Valencia. For 2021, O'Gorman participated in four rounds of the 2021 European Talent Cup, with Cuna de Campeones, while also competing in the Honda British Talent Cup, a series he would go on to win. [6] [7]

As a result of his performances, O'Gorman was selected to compete in the 2022 Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup. He secured two podium finishes in the opening races and concluded the season eighth overall. [8] [9] O'Gorman also participated in the 2022 European Talent Cup season, this time as a full-time rider, where he achieved four podiums and two wins, placing him third in the final standings. [10]

For 2023, O'Gorman would take part in both categories again. He clinched two consecutive second places as best results in the European Talent Cup, but missed out on several races due to injury. [11] He replicated his 2022 performance in the 2023 Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup, finishing in the podium twice and eighth in the final standings. [12] O'Gorman also made his British Supersport Championship debut in that same year. [13] [14] Ultimately, he entered the last two rounds of the JuniorGP World Championship with Team Estrella Galicia at Motorland Aragón and Valencia, and finished ninth in his debut race. [15]

O'Gorman stepped up to the FIM JuniorGP World Championship with Team Estrella Galicia 0,0 for 2024, where he achieved two podiums and several top ten finishes. [16] [17] These results put him 11th in the final standings. He remained in the same team for 2025. In the first six races of the calendar, O'Gorman has clinched three podium finishes and currently sits third in the standings. [18] [19]
