Most of the 2024 MotoE World Championship teams have announced their riders. Confirmed are both the 2023 champion, Mattia Casadei, who moved to the LCR E-Team alongside Eric Granado, and his main opponents over last season: Jordi Torres, Matteo Ferrari and Hector Garzò. Here is the almost complete list.
The teams and riders of the MotoE World Championship 2024 – 2024 will be the sixth year in which the MotoE championship will take place and the second with the electric Ducati V21L. If, as far as the bike is concerned, there will be no big news while waiting for the new model for the 2025-2026 two-year period, on the riders front, there are several important changes. The first of all concerns the reigning world champion, Mattia Casadei, who recently announced the agreement with Lucio Cecchinello's LCR team. Casadei won the title with the PONS Racing team in 2023, the last year in the world championship for the Spanish team, which in addition to the MotoE, also abandoned the Moto2 class. PONS Racing has been replaced by another Spanish team: MT Helmets – MSi, which in 2024 will therefore race in Moto3, Moto2 and MotoE.
Returning to the LCR team, Cecchinello's team will line up the Casadei-Granado duo: the reigning world champion and the rider who has won the most races in MotoE.
The first team to announce its riders for 2024 was Gresini Racing, confirming both Matteo Ferrari and Alessio Finello. The Aspar team has renewed its trust in Jordi Torres, the champion of MotoE in 2020 and 2021 and runner-up in 2023. The other rider who raced with the PONS team in 2023 and who remained without a team is Nicholas Spinelli. The young Italian rider, winner of the last race of last season, had reached an agreement with the CryptoDATA RNF team before the latter was expelled from the world championship by the decision of the FIM, IRTA and Dorna Sports. In a short time, Spinelli found a new agreement with the Tech3 team to continue his journey in MotoE. In Hervé Poncharal's team, Spinelli will team up with Alessandro Zaccone in his second consecutive season with the French team.
Aspar, in addition to Torres, announced the agreement with Kevin Zannoni, fresh from two podiums in the MotoE 2023 where he ran with the Sic58 Squadra Corse. Zannoni goes to take the place vacated by Maria Herrera, who leaves MotoE after five years.
Among the teams that have already announced their 2024 riders, we also find Dynavolt Intact GP and MT Helmets – MSi. The first confirmed Hector Garzò, winner of his first race last year in MotoE and fourth at the end of the championship, and announced Lukas Tulovic, returning to MotoE, where he had already raced in the 2020 and 2021 seasons.

MT Helmets – MSi has chosen Miquel Pons, a Spanish rider with already three years of experience in MotoE, and Oscar Gutierrez, who has raced the Ducati V21L on a couple of rounds this year, to replace the injured Luca Salvadori in the Pramac Racing team.
The latter team, as reported by Speedweek, will not be at the start of the 2024 MotoE season, and its two Ducati V21Ls will be assigned to another team. Those who will be regularly at the start of the MotoE next year is the SIC58 Squadra Corse which, however, has not yet officially announced its riders. Lastly, we mention the CryptoDATA RNF team, which is no longer part of the world championship and whose place has been taken by the US team Trackhouse, both in MotoGP and in MotoE.
