    Ferrari crowned inaugural MotoE™ World Cup winner

    Granado vainqueur de la Course 1, Ferrari favori au titre

    Poleman, le Brésilien a mené en solitaire devant un beau duel entre Garzo et Smith, chassant Ferrari toujours leader du championnat.


    Voilà une course qui satisfait les principaux protagonistes ce samedi au Circuit Ricardo Tormo. Dans la première manche de cette dernière étape du MotoE™ à Valence, Eric Granado (Avintia Esponsorama Racing) a signé sa première victoire dans la catégorie.
    En pole, le Brésilien est doublé au départ par Bradley Smith (One Energy Racing), tandis qu’Hector Garzo (Tech 3 E-Racing) se place troisième et résiste à l’attaque de Xavier Simeon (Avintia Esponsorama Racing) qui le double malgré tout après quelques virages. Derrière, le meneur du championnat Matteo Ferrari (Trentino Gresini MotoE) est cinquième à l’issue du premier tour. Le Britannique prend une petite avance d'une seconde après deux boucles sur Granado, pressé par Garzo, Ferrari doublant Simeon pour la quatrième place. Derrière, Di Meglio remonte à la 10e place
    Au 5e tour, Smith est rattrapé par Granado et Garzo, Ferrari et Simeon étant distancé à plus de deux secondes et demie. Dans l’avant-dernier tour, Granado attaque au bout de la ligne droite, Garzo tentant de prendre l’aspiration mais ne pouvant passer le Britannique. Les deux hommes s’échangent leurs positions plusieurs fois dans un magnifique duel.
    Granado passe sans souci en tête sous le drapeau à damiers pour sa première victoire de la saison, Garzo et Smith grimpant également sur le podium. Ferrari termine quatrième de cette Course 1, Simeon enregistrant un Top 5. Côté Français, Mike di Meglio (EG 0,0 Marc VDS) 11e, ne peut plus espérer le titre, Randy de Puniet (LCR E-Team) est 14e et Kenny Foray (Tech 3 E-Racing) 17e cette première course du week-end.

    Granado beats Smith on the final lap for a double victory, Ferrari creates history

    Matteo Ferrari (Trentino Gresini MotoE) has been crowned 2019 FIM Enel MotoE™ World Cup winner thanks to a P5 finish in Race 2 at the Gran Premio Motul de la Comunitat Valenciana. Eric Granado (Avintia Esponsorma Racing) beat Bradley Smith (One Energy Racing) on the final lap to claim a double victory at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo, with Hector Garzo (Tech 3 E-Racing) completing the Race 2 podium after being disqualified from Race 1.
    Because of Garzo’s removal from the Race 1 results, Ferrari could only be beaten to the inaugural title by one rider coming into Race 2: Smith, with the points gap sitting at 20. Launching from P3, the British rider got a great getaway and did exactly what he would have planned – lead into Turn 1. The number 38 then had the hammer down as he immediately pulled away from the chasing pack, with Ferrari sitting P3 after the opening lap. 1.1 was Smith’s advantage to Granado after the first lap, with Garzo making his way up to P3 past Ferrari and Alex de Angelis (Octo Pramac MotoE).
    With three laps to go Smith and Granado were locked together, the pairing nearly four seconds clear of Garzo in third. Smith was doing all he could to try and claim the MotoE™ title, but Ferrari was also doing enough – the Italian sitting P5, that position handing him the crown by six points. Without a win this season, Smith was determined as ever to grab 25-points and heading onto the last lap it was Smith vs Granado for the win. Down the back straight, Granado was clinging onto Smith’s coattails and made a move stick at Turn 8. Smith then immediately bit back at Turn 11, making a daring pass up the inside. On the exit though, Granado bullied his way back to P1. Last corner time, was Smith going to try snatch victory? Of course. The One Energy Racing man lunged underneath Granado but he was wide, allowing Granado to get the switchback and claim a double Valencia victory.
    The main story was further back though. Knowing all he had to do was finish inside the top 10, Ferrari cruised across the line to become the first-ever MotoE™ World Cup winner. The Italian took the title by 11 points over Smith, with Granado’s victory giving him P3 in the Cup standings, two points ahead of Garzo.
    An enthralling maiden MotoE™ campaign draws to a close, with Ferrari etching his name into the history books. Bring on 2020!  
    Top 10:
    1. Eric Granado (Avinita Esponsorama Racing)

    MotoE World Cup ; Ferrari doubles up at Misano

    Matteo Ferrari claimed his first MotoE™ victory as the opening race at Misano saw several slices of big drama


    Home rider Matteo Ferrari (Trentino Gresini MotoE) claimed a magnificent maiden FIM Enel MotoE™ World Cup victory after a hugely dramatic Race 1 at the GP Octo di San Marino e della Riviera di Rimini. The Italian held off second-place Hector Garzo (Tech 3 E-Racing) and third place Xavier Simeon (Avintia Esponsorama Racing) on the final lap to take the Cup standings lead.
    Polesitter Alex de Angelis (Octo Pramac MotoE) got the holeshot he would have been looking for as Ferrari and Simeon slotted in behind the race leader on the opening lap. After crashing in E-Pole, Cup leader Mike Di Meglio (EG 0,0 Marc VDS) made a good start from the back of the grid to get up to P14, but his Energica Ego Corsa ran into issues on Lap 1 – the first piece of drama, and a big one for the overall standings.
    Di Meglio got going again but his race ended on Lap 2 after further bike trouble, and at Turn 6 on Lap 2 – the second piece of drama. Niki Tuuli (Ajo MotoE) was up the inside of Mattia Casadei (Ongetta SIC58 Squadra Corse) but with the door closing, the Finnish rider crashed and took Casadei with him, with Casadei then collecting the luckless Bradley Smith (One Energy Racing) as the man second in the Cup crashed. The British rider was able to get going again, albeit at the back of the pack.
    With leading contenders either out or scoring little points, the fight was on at the front to not only claim victory, but to stake a claim in the overall standings. The dust settled and it was de Angelis still leading the way from Simeon and Ferrari, with Garzo getting passed by Eric Granado (Avintia Esponsorama Racing) before the Brazilian then crashed at Turn 14, having made a sensational start from P16.
    What more could happen? Well, something was about to. De Angelis had slipped to P3 and with four laps to go, the Sammarinese rider highsided out of contention on the exit of Turn 5 – rider ok. This left a three-way fight at the front between Ferrari – who was now your race leader – Simeon and Garzo. Nothing split the trio in the latter stages and heading onto the last lap, 0.3 covered them. However, Ferrari rode a blinder to hold off the competition, with Garzo ducking under Simeon at the fast Turn 11. An electric powered Ferrari was unstoppable though as he took victory – and the Cup standings lead.
    0.5 would split the podium as Garzo beat Simeon on the last lap, with Jesko Raffin (Dynavolt Intact GP) 3.1 off the win in P4 to pick up his best MotoE™ result. LCR E-Team’s Niccolo Canepa was battling Raffin to the flag to also claim his best finish of the season.
    After that breathless race, Ferrari leads Simeon in the standings by two points, with the top duo, Di Meglio and Smith covered by just nine points. The best part? We get to watch another MotoE™ race on Sunday – tune in for Race 2 at 10:05 local time (GMT+2).
    Top 10:
    1. Matteo Ferrari (Trentino Gresini MotoE)
    2. Hector Garzo (Tech 3 E-Racing) + 0.187
    3. Xavier Simeon (Avintia Esponsorama Racing) + 0.590

    Italian claims victory in Race 2 from Garzo and Casadei as the Cup standings take another twist

    After claiming victory in Race 1, home rider Matteo Ferrari (Trentino Gresini MotoE) takes a maximum 50 points away from the GP Octo di San Marino e della Riviera di Rimini after gloriously picking up a Race 2 win on Sunday morning. The Italian beat Tech 3 E-Racing’s Hector Garzo by 2.6 seconds as Mattia Casadei (Ongetta SIC58 Squadra Corse) snatched a podium at the final corner.
    After a hugely dramatic opening race of the weekend on Saturday, Sunday morning saw more drama unfold as Cup title contender and Race 1 podium finisher Xavier Simeon (Avinitia Esponsorama Racing) highsided out of contention on the exit of Turn 2. Several riders had to take avoiding action, including One Energy Racing’s Bradley Smith and Mike Di Meglio (EG 0,0 Marc VDS) as polesitter Alex de Angelis (Octo Pramac MotoE) once again got the holeshot.

    Ferrari was right in contention as he hooked himself onto the tail of de Angelis, with Maria Herrera (OpenBank Angel Nieto Team) making headway on the opening lap to grab P3. Ferrari then took the lead at Turn 2 on Lap 2 as the top six were separated by just 1.3. However, Lap 3 saw de Angelis have a big moment coming up the hill on the exit of Turn 8 – breathing space for Ferrari.
    Edging away from the competition, it soon became a battle for second. But, just like he did on Saturday, de Angelis’ home Grand Prix ended with a crash – a fast one at Turn 13, rider ok. With Ferrari up the road, the race was now for the remaining podium spots. Garzo, Casadei, Canepa and Herrera all in that scrap, with Smith, Eric Granado (Avinita Esponsorama Racing) and Jesko Raffin (Dynavolt Intact GP) just off the back in a battle for sixth.
    It all came down to the last lap – and the last sector. Track limits were exceeded by Garzo at the fast Turn 11 kink as the riders headed into the stadium complex for the final time, with Canepa trying to make a move stick on Garzo for P2 at Turn 14. The latter held the outside led and, subsequently, had the inside for Turn 15. Then, fourth place Casadei pounced. The Italian ducked underneath Canepa at the final corner and as Ferrari took win number two of the weekend, Garzo and Casadei secured the remaining podium spots, with Canepa left frustrated having missed out by just 0.055. Herrera produced a fine ride to pick up her best rest of the season in fifth.
    In that battle for sixth, Granado prevailed. Raffin also got the better of title hopeful Smith as the British rider picked up P8. Nico Terol (OpenBank Angel Nieto Team) claimed his second top 10 of the weekend in P9, with former title leader Di Meglio closing out the top 10 having suffered a bike issue in Race 1.
    The FIM Enel MotoE™ World Cup takes another twist, with Ferrari now taking a healthy 19-point lead in the standings with just two races remaining. Valencia is next up for the MotoE™ riders as we eagerly await a title showdown in November.
