Things haven’t exactly gone Energica’s way in the MotoE World Cup. After securing a deal to provide all the race machines for the one-make electric race series, a fire at Spain’s Jerez Circuit forced FIM to shorten the inaugural season. Additional fires at the 2019 Austria Grand Prix and 2020 Spanish Grand Prix added more blemishes to Energica’s record, but they’ve since fixed the issues in 2021 and 2022.
Ironically, just as Energica found its footing, MotoGP organizing body Dorna Sports announced Ducati as the next sole supplier of the series for 2023-2026. While the Italian electric brand will vacate the paddock after the 2022 season, it wants to finish its run in a strong fashion. Unfortunately, reigning Supersport World Champion and MotoE Dynavolt Intact GP rider Dominique Aegerter doesn’t see it that way.
