It couldn’t have been better for Dominique Aegerter. Because he has to start in the MotoE in Misano and cannot compete as leader in the Supersport World Championship in Barcelona at the same time, the man from Oberaargau threatens to lose a lot of his lead this weekend.
But then help comes from a buddy. Randy Krummenacher wins the first race of the Supersport World Cup in Barcelona and thus ensures that Aegerters big rival Steven Odendaal cannot score fully.
Even better for Aegerter: Odendaal crossed the finish line in fourth, but was postponed to 8th place for a time violation in the pit lane.
Thus, the championship lead only shrinks from 62 to 54 points. After the weekend he will still be ahead with at least 29 points, even if he has not even started.
Success in MotoE
Even better: Meanwhile, Aegerter celebrates second on the MotoE podium in Misano. Before the last race of the season, he is second in the World Cup, just 8 points behind leader Jordi Torres. (sme)
