Fire to see MotoE World Cup re-scheduled
An overnight fire in the newly built E-Paddock for FIM Enel MotoE World Cup at Jerez has forced an early conclusion to testing that was due to take place this week at the spanish circuit.
The massive blaze is also thought to have wiped out the majority of the machines and the equipment required to charge and maintain them.
The fledgling new racing category for battery powered motorcycles, the FIM Enel MotoE World Cup, is slated to get underway at Jerez over the first weekend in May, in conjunction with round four of the MotoGP World Championship.
The overnight inferno though has forced Dorna to confirm that the opening round of the series has been cancelled, and that a revised calendar will be issued.
No injuries have been reported and the cause of the fire is currently under investigation.
