While the 2022 MotoGP season kicked off in Qatar this past weekend, the MotoE World Cup won’t get underway until the opening round at Spain’s Jerez Circuit on May 1, 2022. Despite the late start, the all-electric series will host seven rounds and 14 races this year. That’s a marked increase over the 6 races held in 2019 and the seven-race 2020 and 2021 seasons.
With the new season on the horizon, MotoE teams took to the Jerez track for the first pre-season test of the year on March 7-9, 2022. However, the Lucio Cecchinello Racing (LCR) MotoE team ran into issues before the first session even started when rider Miquel Pons checked into an Andalusian hospital.
