Jordi Torres delivers MotoE Championship win for Rainers Sports
New race series come and go, but you know that a relatively new one has 'hit the spot' when it starts to become a viable platform for motorcycle parts and apparel vendors.
Kudos to well-known Spanish bootmaker Rainers Sports for its backing of Jordi Torres. The 33-year old Spaniard is a two-time winner of the Spanish Moto2 Championship and has previously competed in his native Supersport and Stock Extreme championships.

The good news for Jordi and for Rainers is that riding for the Pons Racing 40 team is that this year he rode his Energica Ego Corsa to the championship win in the second year of the FIM Enel MotoE World Cup, after a strong ride to sixth place at Le Mans earlier this year.
The 2019 champion Matteo Ferrari (Team Trentino Gresini MotoE) took a very close fight for second place in the 2020 series.

In another sure sign that the MotoE series could be here to stay, in one form or another, the pandemic-permitting calendar for 2021 sees six events staging seven races at six different venues.
The championship will start on May 2nd, 2021 at Circuito de Jerez in Southern Spain and wrap up with a doubleheader at Energica's home track, the Misano World Circuit, on September 19th - the Energica EGO Corsa will again be the series 'spec' bike.
