2019 MotoE World Cup

The 2019 MotoE World Cup (known officially as the 2019 FIM Enel MotoE World Cup for sponsorship reasons) was the inaugural season of the MotoE World Cup for electric motorcycle racing, and was a support series of the 71st F.I.M. Grand Prix motorcycle racing season.

The season was delayed because of a fire that destroyed 18 Energica Ego Corsa motorcycles.[1]

After 6 races between July and November 2019, Italian rider Matteo Ferrari from the Trentino Gresini MotoE team became the first MotoE champion.[2]

Jerez paddock fire

In March, all MotoE teams tested the new motorcycles at the Circuito de Jerez but the newly built facility which housed the machines was destroyed by a fire which started around 12:15 a.m. of 14 March. Organizer Dorna Sports announced an investigation into the accident where no-one was injured. The remainder of the scheduled tests were cancelled.[16] A new pre-season test session took place in June and the start of the season was pushed back to the German GP, with the missed starting rounds at Jerez and Le Mans replaced by a doubleheader at the season finale in Valencia.[17]
