Battery manufacturer Exide Technologies has renewed its partnership as a premium sponsor of the Intact GP racing team for the 2020 Moto2 season, the company has announced.
For the 2020 season, the Intact GP team includes Tom Lüthi, the Swiss rider who ended 2019 with four podiums in the final four races to finish third overall. He is joined by German teammate Marcel Schrötter, who had his most successful season in 2019, including a second place in Austin, to finish eighth overall. The team finished a narrow second in 2019 and has set its sights on the top spot this year. Intact GP is also vying for MotoE success, with Swiss rider Dominique Aegerter on board an Energica Ego Corsa electric bike.
“We’re all excited to be sponsored again by Exide,” said Intact GP’s Tom Lüthi. “They produce top-of-the-line batteries for high-performance motorbikes and have some of the most reliable and advanced technology available. Exide Li-Ion is up to 80% lighter than a standard lead-acid battery, which makes the motorcycle more responsive.”
