WorldSBK: Dominique Aegerter: “My future is still a little bit unclear, factory ride would be nice”

After a very impressive opening few rounds to hi𝐆s rookie WorldSBK season, Aegerter has struggled to produce the same level of performances.
The Swiss 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 Locateꦆlli.

Speaking about his future, Aegerter told : "I’m very happy to race with the GRT Yamaha꧃ team. I think it’s very important to feel good with the team. Yamaha do a very good job; they try to help me as much as po🦄ssible.
"We can also see the data fr𝔍om Toprak and Locatelli; 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. I 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 achie💞ve 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 tea💝m would be very nice but 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 h𓆉is chances of securing the second factory Yamaha seat, returning to the top five would be a good start for Aegerter, who is aiming even higher.
"My 2023 season started we🍸ll," began Aegerter. "We had some very good races with some very fast Superpole sesꦅsions. Some top five finishes.
"We also had some races that we 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, bu🅠t I think, overall, we are performing very well.
"My goals for the enജd part of the season… I try to improve every race. I would like to𒅌 be on 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 ride▨r a few times."
