Dominique Aegerter’s second WorldSBK season was a troubled campaign through illness an𒁏d injury, with results ultimately not matching 🧜those he was able to achieve in 2023.

Despite an in-season homologation𝔍 update from Yamaha, Aegerter was unable to add to the po♛diums he collected in Jerez 2023, as the Swiss rider instead spent much of the season on the sidelines after getting injured while riding motocross in the summer.

“For me, 2024 was a difficult season,” he said. “We were starting with a virus infection, so I missed all the tests; middle of the season we were a little bit unlucky with some technical failur༺es.

“In August, I injured myself in a motorbike accident, I injured my shoulder and ribs; I st꧋ill need to recover my shoulder a little bit, but I could race the last two races.

“I didn’t achieve my goals that I was hoping for, bu🀅t I’m looking forward to next year and being fully ready for next season.”

On 2025, 𒅌Aegerter added: “I wi🍸ll give my best for sure. I try to race in the top-six, this would be a great target, try to fight for podiums.

“But we will see also how we will make the winter tests, and I ho𝔍pe we can make a step with Yamaha as well because the other manufacturers ꦇare getting faster and faster.

“So, we try hard, I’m trus✱ting in the team and Yamaha to work ‘full gas’ in the winter. I try to fully recover, and make me physically and mentally fully fit⭕ for January where I have my first test in Jerez.”
