Dominique Aegerter returns to MotoE with Dynavolt Intact GP for 2022 as he looks to clinch the title that was so nearly his this season.
Having finished third in 2020 and runner up after the dramatic 2021 battle, the Swiss rider is determined to complete the trend and claim the MotoE World Cup in 2022 to add to his Supersport World Championship success this season - a title he will defend again next year alongside his electric series commitments.
Testing for the 14-race season begins in early March with the season opener scheduled for the inaugural European MotoGP race weekend of 2022 at Jerez.
“Of course, I’m delighted to be contesting my third year with the Intact GP team in the MotoE category,” Aegerter said on the announcement. “We had to wait until the race calendars were published to make sure that no dates overlapped with the Supersport World Championship because I’ll be competing in that class again in 2022.
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank both teams for allowing me to participate in these two championships. It will certainly be an exhausting season with 20 races and an additional seven doubleheaders in MotoE. But I already can’t wait to get back on the bike and race, although I’ll have to wait until May for MotoE.
“I’m pleased that with Mugello and the Kymi Ring we’ll be visiting two new circuits with the electric class, and the qualifying format will also change a bit,” he continued. “I’ve been third once and now second in the MotoE Cup, so the goal is clearly to win the title.
“We want to fight for the podium in every race to have the chance to be at the top at the very end. We will do our best, but until then, I wish everyone a great Christmas season and a fantastic New Year. I’m going to spend the next few weeks in Switzerland, preparing myself mentally and physically before I travel to Spain in January or February to train more intensively with the Supermoto and Motocross bike. I’m looking forward to the next season with confidence and to be able to welcome all the fans at the track again. Stay healthy!”
