2022 MotoE World Cup

4th running of the MotoE World Cup From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2022 MotoE World Cup (known officially as the 2022 FIM Enel MotoE World Cup for sponsorship reasons) was the fourth season of the MotoE World Cup for electric motorcycle racing, and was a support series of the 74th Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) Road Racing World Championship season.

Dominique Aegerter (pictured in 2014) was the 2022 MotoE World Cup Winner.

This was the last season of Energica being the sole supplier of the World Cup as they withdrew from the Cup after the season, with Ducati taking their place as the new sole manufacturer starting 2023.[1]

Dominique Aegerter clinched the championship after a crash from Eric Granado during race 1 in Misano, his first MotoE crown.

Rider changes

Mid-season changes

  • Bradley Smith missed the opening three rounds after suffering a fractured vertebra during the 24 Hours of Le Mans. He was replaced by Lukas Tulovic for the Spanish round, while Andrea Mantovani [it] replaced him for the French and Italian rounds.[11][12]
  • Xavier Cardelús missed the opening Spanish round due to injury sustained from a training accident. He was replaced by Yeray Ruiz [de].[13] Cardelús also missed the Dutch round after having surgery on a ruptured tendon sustained during the previous Italian round. He was replaced by Unai Orradre [de].[14]
  • Jordi Torres missed the Italian round due to a fractured fibula sustained during race 1 of the previous French round. He was replaced by Massimo Roccoli.[15][16]

Regulation changes

Starting this season, standard MotoE events featured two Free Practice sessions, a Qualifying on Friday, and two races: one on Saturday and the other on Sunday.

E-Pole was replaced by more traditional Qualifying sessions: Qualifying session format: Q1 (10 minutes) – 10 min break – Q2 (10 minutes).[17]

Comparison between the configuration of the Red Bull Ring used in 2019 and 2021 (top), and the layout used starting 2022 (bottom).
  • The Finnish Grand Prix scheduled for July was cancelled in May due to incomplete homologation works and the risks associated with the geopolitical situation in the region surrounding the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[19]
  • The Austrian Grand Prix used a new layout of the Red Bull Ring, wherein a chicane was added to the previous fast slight-left hander of turn 2.[20] This was done to improve the overall safety of the track by greatly minimizing the speed the riders take the turn. The final configuration was chosen among 15 proposals, with the track being 30 meters longer than the previous configurations.[21]
