The first round of the inaugural championship which is slated to take place from 3rd to 5th May is cancelled. Thankfully, the championship is still on for the year.

Local police are still investigating the fire but announced that it was caused by a short circuit. The short then ignited the high-density battery, which is a part of the high-performance charger used in MotoE. However, that caused the short was not confirmed.

Short circuits cause a suddenly rise in temperature leading to thermal runaway for the lithium batteries. Consequently, a chain reaction leads to the breakdown of the system’s thermal balance and fire.

The bikes were not connected to the charging infrastructure when the fire broke out.

  • The storage unit for the 2019 MotoE bikes and equipment at the Jerez Circuit caught fire last night.

  • The conflagration destroyed all the bikes and equipment.

  • Set to begin in six weeks’ time, the motorcycle suppliers and teams may not assemble their equipment by then.

The inaugural 2019 MotoE season is in doubt after an immense fire at the Jerez Circuit in Spain last night.

The fire that broke out in the temporary garage destroyed all 18 Energica Ego electric bikes. They were stored there for the championship’s second full pre-season test at the circuit. Additionally, all other equipment and items associated with the championship were also burned to ashes. They included riders’ kits, tools, laptops.

Thankfully, no one was hurt in the incident.

The 2019 MotoE Championship was scheduled to begin alongside the first European MotoGP round at the Jerez Circuit in May. It will then move on to additional rounds at Le Mans, France; Sachsenring, Germany; Red Bull Ring, Austria; and Misano, Italy.

However, with just six weeks to go, time may prove too short to replace the 18 Energica bikes and equipment.

The cause of the fire has not been established.
