Dominique Aegerter to remain with Intact GP for 2022 MotoE season

2021 World Supersport champion Dominique Aegerter will take part in his third consecutive MotoE season after agreeing to stay with Dynavolt Intact GP. 

The Swiss rider, who finished third in 2020 and second in 2021, will be a firm favourite to continue his upward trend and take the title at the third time of asking. 

Aegerter will also defend his Supersport title, meaning it’s once again dual commitments for the former Moto2 rider. 

Aegerter’s new deal means he’s the ninth MotoE rider to officially be confirmed for next year, while Bradley Smith and Niccolo Canepa are expected to be next with the WITHU RNF team. 

"Of course, I'm delighted to be contesting my third year with the Intact GP team in the MotoE category," said Aegerter. 

"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. 

"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."
