Energica Riders And Teams Comment After First MotoE Test
Electric motorcycles are going racing on the world stage in 2019 and Energica’s Ego Corsa will be the machine all the competitors will be riding. Now that all the teams and riders have had a chance to test, here’s what Energica has to say.
Begin press release:
The cornerstone of the 2019 FIM Enel MotoE World Cup was laid down two weekends ago, when a three-day-test was performed by all twelve teams taking part in the series at the Jerez Circuit. Twelve, stunning Energica Ego Corsa machines were ridden for the first time by the mix of young and experienced talents of motorcycle racing that form the line-up of the new championship, which will get underway for the first time at this same track on May 3-5 2019.
Among these riders, there was one who made the news by making his return to racing at the age of 48: the two-time MotoGP runner-up and nine-time premier class race winner ? once in 500cc and eight times in MotoGP ? Sete Gibernau, who looked more than ready for action aboard the Ego Corsa assigned to Pons Racing for this test. The quickest of them all turned out to be, however, former MotoGP factory rider Bradley Smith (Sic Racing Team), who logged a 1?50.265secs lap-time in the fourth of nine 30-minute sessions (on day two).
?I?m really happy? says Bradley Smith. ?The three days went super good. It was unfortunate that we had difficult weather conditions, but it was also nice to ride in the dry, in the wet and in mixed conditions just to get some information...
