“We’re really happy that he’s back because he’s had serious injuries,” Dosoli WorldSBK.com during FP1 in Estor♎il, regarding Aegerter.

“He’s been working hard to heal and recover quickly. I just spoke to him, and th♐e shoulder is still not strong enough. Most probably, starting wet will probably help him.”
