All teams of the MotoE World Championship 2023 presented their riders. The 2022 champion, Dominique Aegerter, who will be involved in WSBK in 2023, will not be there, but all the protagonists of past seasons are confirmed: Jordi Torres, Matteo Ferrari, Mattia Casadei, Eric Granado and Miquel Pons.
The teams and riders of the 2023 MotoE World Championship – 2023 will be the start of a new era for MotoE: after four years with the Ego Corsa by Energica, the new season will open with Ducati and its new electric prototype, the "V21L". The arrival of such a prestigious manufacturer and the elevation of the MotoE to the status of World Championship, have made the MotoGP electric series very attractive for riders, teams and sponsors.
There are therefore many protagonists of past seasons who immediately confirmed their participation in the MotoE 2023: the duo of the LCR E-Team, formed by Eric Granado and Miquel Pons, the double champion of the MotoE, Jordi Torres, the first winner of the MotoE, Matteo Ferrari and the veterans Mattia Casadei and Maria Herrera.
Many confirmed riders and five new rookies in the MotoE 2023
Dominique Aegerter, the winner of the 2022 season of the MotoE, will miss in 1. The Swiss rider won two FIM titles in the same season: the MotoE and the Supersport World Championship. This extraordinary performance earned him a promotion to the Superbike World Championship with the Yamaha R2023 of the GRT team. However, this new commitment is incompatible with the new MotoE World Championship, so the Dynavolt Intact GP team has found a new rider, or rather two, because, from XNUMX, the German team will line up two bikes, one assigned to Randy Krummenacher and one to Hector Garzò.
Garzò is back from a subdued 2022 with the Tech3 team, which for 2023 has preferred him Alessandro Zaccone, a rider returning to MotoE after a season in Moto2 with the Gresini Racing team. Alongside Zaccone, Hervé Poncharal's team will have the Japanese Hikari Okubo, who is leaving the Avant Ajo team with which he raced the previous two seasons in MotoE.
In addition to the LCR team, Gresini Racing also confirmed both of its riders: Matteo Ferrari and Alessio Finello. The Aspar team further renews its trust in Maria Herrera and brings to its box none other than Jordi Torres, the champion of the MotoE in 2020 and 2021. Torres reunites with Jorge “Aspar” Martínez's team with whom he raced in the World Championship between 2011 and 2014, and says goodbye to the Sito Pons team with which he raced the last three seasons of the MotoE. His place in the Pons Racing team has been assigned to the young Italian rookie Nicholas Spinelli, who will join Mattia Casadei, in his fifth season in MotoE.
Former Moto2 Champion Tito Rabat joins the riders of MotoE 2023
Whoever changes both of their riders is the Pramac Racing team. The Italian team has signed the former Moto2 World Champion, Tito Rabat, winner of the Spanish Superbike championship in 2022. The Spaniard will thus be the first rider to race with all three Ducati racing bikes: the Desmosedici, the Panigale and the MotoE. In team with Rabat, Pramac has chosen Luca Salvadori, a rider who has been among the protagonists of the Italian National 1000 championship for years. In addition to his activity as a rider, Luca Salvadori is a very well-known and appreciated youtuber and will certainly bring into the paddock of the World Championship his skills as a content creator.
The Avant Ajo team steps out of the MotoE and will focus on activities in the Moto2 and Moto3 championships. The Ajo team slot passes to the Italian team Sic58, which renews its trust in Kevin Zannoni and chooses Kevin Manfredi, in his second year in MotoE, at his side.
Andrea Mantovani and Mika Perez are the riders of the RNF MotoE team, led by Team Manager Ramon Forcada, famous for having supported riders such as Jorge Lorenzo, Franco Morbidelli and Andrea Dovizioso in MotoGP. Mantovani already has experience in MotoE, having raced in 2021 with the Gresini team and having competed in two GPs with Razali's team in 2022. The young Spaniard Mika Perez was the winner of the 2016 European Junior Cup Championship and runner-up two years later in the Supersport 300 World Championship.
Some number changes should be kept in mind: Mattia Casadei leaves the 27 to use the 40 while Jordi Torres passes from the 40 to the 81.
