Even if Moto2 rider Dominque Aergerter is a native of Switzerland, (snow, ice, the Alps), apparently he never tried his hand at ice racing, and before Christmas, the Technomag-CIP rider got into the saddle of a 500cc bike with no brakes and learned to power-slide sideways.
Aegerter was so enthusiastic about ice racing that he signed up to compete in the 11th round of Eisspeedwayrennen (Swiss league) that takes place in Flims on January 14th.
