WorldSBK: Dominique Aegerter: “My future is still a little bit unclear, factory ride would be nice”
After a very impressive opening 𓆏few rounds to his rookie WorldSBK season, Aegerter has struggled to produce the same level of performances.
The Swisౠs rider has failed to secure a top ten result in any of his last eight races, but the two-time Supersport champion remains a consideration to replace Razgatlioglu alongside Andrea Locatelli.

Speaking about his future, Aegerter told : "I’m very happy to race with the GRT Yamaha team. I think it’s very important to fꦇeel good with the team. Yamaha do a very good job; they try to help me as much as possible.
"We can also see the data from Toprak and Locateꦜlli; it’s very helpful. They share everything so it’s nice that I’m one of the Yamaha riders.
"My future is still a little bit unclear. Iꩵ think I performed well that I have a chance to continue in WorldSBK. I’ll try to stay with Yamaha because I think we can achieve something great.
"There’s a seat at Yamaha, but I think there are a lot of riders who want Toprak’s seat. To ride in a factory team would be very nice bu🍨t I don’t know what they’ll decide. I can just focus on my own riding and my own goals."
In a bid to improve his chances of securing the second factory Yamaha seat, returning to the top five would be a good start for Aegerter, who is aiming even hi𓂃gher.
"My 2023 season started well," began Aegerter📖. "We had some very good races with some very fast Superpole sessions. Some top five finishes.
"We also had some races that w꧙e were struggling a little bit to be where we want. Twice I got taken out in the Superpole Race so this was the worst moment for me, but I think, overall, we are performing very well.
"My goals for the end part of the season… I try to i🐭mprove every race. I would like to be o♛n the podium. This is a big goal.
"I think we had some races where🏅 we weren’t that far away. I’ll try to be the best Independent rider 🦩and also, maybe, the best Yamaha rider a few times."
