MotoE™ WORLD CUP 2021
including 2020 Cup winner Torres ( Pons Racing 40 ) as he prepares to defend the throne . The fact the popular Spaniard was a rookie last year underlined his amazing ability to adapt to the heavier electric machinery . Crucially he kept his head in a critical moment ( the first race at Le Mans ) when all of his rivals appeared to lose theirs .
2019 winner and 2020 runner-up Ferrari ( Trentino Gresini MotoE ) also returns . A figure capable of unerring consistency , his late season collapse in 2020 came as one of the year ’ s major surprises . No doubt he ’ ll be keen to put that right this time around .
The same can be said of Aegerter ( Dynavolt Intact GP ), who placed third overall in last year ’ s series . Like Torres , the Swiss rider took no time in adapting to class in his first year , winning two races . Only a series of unfortunate events kept him from claiming the crown .
There are some interesting move for fellow riders of experience too as race winner Eric Granado switches to One Energy Racing and Alessandro Zaccone heads for Octo Pramac MotoE .
The likes of Mattia Casadei ( Ongetta SIC58 Squadra Corse ), Lukas Tulovic ( Tech3 E-Racing ), Maria Herrera ( Openbank Aspar Team ) and Xavier Cardelus ( Avintia Esponsorama Racing ) also remain on the grid , and there are some exciting new – and well-known – faces too .
Yonny Hernandez joins Octo Pramac MotoE as the popular Colombian makes a return to the Grand Prix paddock , and Hikari Okubo will be putting his WorldSSP experience to the test in a new challenge with Avant Ajo MotoE . Miquel Pons and Kevin Zannoni join LCR E-Team , Fermin Aldeguer will race as Herrera ’ s teammate at Openbank Aspar , Andrea Mantovani partners Ferrari at Trentino Gresini MotoE , Corentin Perolari joins Tulovic at Tech3 E-Team and Portuguese rider Andre Pires joins the ranks of Avintia Esponsorama Racing . How will the rookies get on ? With a mix of backgrounds – and seeing the success of the likes of Torres on his debut – it will be another exciting year .
