MotoE™ WORLD CUP 2021
The surprise of the season so far has been Italian Alessandro Zaccone ( Octo Pramac MotoE ), who picked up a surprise win at Jerez and backed that up with thirds in France and Holland . He leads the title race going into the double header at his home race .
There are some interesting moves for fellow riders of experience in this year ’ s field as race winner Eric Granado switches to One Energy Racing . The move has already bore fruit , with the Brazilian winning an epic contest in France , backing that up with another first at Assen and scoring a fine second in Austria . He sits second overall .
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 . He ’ s started 2021 well , scoring two second places and a fourth before a costly crash at Assen saw him slip to fourth overall . But he ’ s still in the hunt , just eleven points back of Zaccone after a strong third in Austria .
Mattia Casadei ( SIC58 Squadra Corse ) made a heroic return to Jerez after a sustaining a serious leg injury over the offseason . He was on a podium at Le Mans , but missed the Austrian round during to a positive Covid test .
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 likes of 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 . Judging by the racing so far in 2021 , this will be yet another stunning climax to the season .
