2021 MOTOGP SEASON PREVIEW P98 Feature Moto E Back for its third season, the MotoE World Cup will once again run a seven- race series, this time at six different tracks, starting at the Spanish Grand Prix in early May. Battery technology has progressed, meaning organizers are hopeful races can be one lap longer than the five-/six-lap affairs of 2020. But due to calendar clashes with the World Endurance Championship (where many of the MotoE riders race), the entry list has taken a hit. Only two grand prix winners are present in the form of reigning World Cup winner Jordi Torres (Pons Racing 40) and Dominique Aegerter (Dynavolt Intact GP). 2019 champ Matteo Ferrari (Trentino Gresini MotoE) returns for a third campaign. Yet the remainder of the entry list is lacking in star quality. CN Champion Torres is back for another tilt, but MotoE is lacking in star firepower this year.
