Tom Lüthi has snatched Dominique Aegerter’s place in the circus GP
Tom Lüthi will drive for the next two years (2021 and 2022) in the team of the Spanish Eduardo «Edu» Perales. And lo and behold: Dominique Aegerter had waited for this place.
Bottom line: reading Watson can spoil a good mood. Dominique Aegerter wanted to know if what he had read was true: that Tom Lüthi had signed “Edu” Perales. He asked for good reason: “We also negotiated with Edu and I was looking forward to returning to the Moto2 World Championship with his team next season. We have not yet received a rejection. “
That is why he wants to return to the second most important motorcycle world championship. To where it was one of the big names from 2010 to 2019 and had at times enjoyed the startup status. Nothing will come of this at the moment. Tom Lüthi (34) snatched Dominique Aegerter (29) the place he was waiting for.
Tom Lüthi’s team change at the end of the season has already been officially confirmed. What is not in the corresponding press release: Tom Lüthi even got a two-year contract for 2021 and 2022 with Eduardo “Edu” Perales. First, you get rid of your worries about the future.
But what about Dominique Aegerter? He says he has an offer to drive the electric motorcycle for German battery maker Dynavolt’s team next season. “But I still haven’t accepted and nothing has been signed yet.” For good reason: the Rohrbacher is still trying to find a place in the Moto2 World Championship for the 2021 season. He could drive for Jarno Janssen’s team next season; He was already a Jesko Raffin replacement for the Dutchman this year. “But he would have to put too much money into the team’s budget.”

And so “Domi” remains “committed” to the Germans for the moment in the E-Moto World Cup, but still looking for a better match in a Moto2 team. He also has a contract at Dynavolt as a backup driver for Tom Lüthi and Marcel Schrötter. So Dominique Aegerter should really know why there was a scandal and a split at the end of the season. Why Tom Lüthi is now following him after good preseason tests.
Aegerter protects the team; of course she works with the people of Jürgen Lingg. “Technically they are at the highest level.” But only: why was it no longer working with Tom Lüthi? “If things don’t go well, as a driver you get into a negative spiral and it is very difficult to get out of it.” Which does not answer the question of the causes of the crisis, what triggered this negative spiral. But we don’t want to brood.

Meanwhile, Tom Lüthi’s friend and coach, Daniel Epp, attaches importance to the fact that it is not necessary to put money into the fund of the “Edu” Perales team. “Please correct that in your report.” So? Is that really true? Daniel Epp should have become a politician or a diplomat. He says, “Of course you can support a good team, and I always try to do that.”
As a hungry chronicler, I have been looking for that “support” for years.
