A first lap mistake dropped the Mike Di Meglio rider to the back of the MotoE field, but the Team Estrella Galicia 0,0 Marc VDS rider produced an exciting fight back to claim tenth place in the first race of 2020. |

After qualifying in eleventh place for the first MotoE World Cup race of 2020 at the Circuit of Jerez – Angel Nieto, Mike Di Meglio made a strong start to the 6-lap race. |

However a mistake when braking for turn 6 on the first lap pushed him wide and lost him a number of positions. From there the Frenchman was the last of the 17 MotoE riders. |

Never a rider to give up, the 2008 125cc World Champion started to feel comfortable on his Energica Corse machine and get accustomed to Michelin’s new 2020 rear tyre as he produced an impressive comeback in the remaining five laps. |

A last lap move on Niki Tuuli gave Di Meglio tenth position, an excellent recovery. The 32-year old now feels he has a good base setting to start the second round of the season at the same circuit next week. |
