Then he raced at the ADAC Pro Junior Cup 125cc Road Racing in 2003, later in 2005 he joined German Road Racing Championship racing in the IDM –series 125cc class until 2006 when he was offered by the Italian Multimedia Racing in the 125cc world chmpoinship, then he made his 125cc world champoinship debut in the 2006 Portuguese GP replacing his fellow Swissman Vincent Braillard for the race and the rest of the season.

Aegerter continued with the same team for the 2007 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season and still have Italian teamates Raffaele de Rosa and Simone Grotzkyj. He had a very slow start only managing to score back to back 15th place at the 2007 Catalan motorcycle Grand Prix and at the 2007 Dutch TT, and later at the wet 2007 Japanese motorcycle Grand Prix at 11th place. This championship points scoring finishes only manage he finished at 23th place with 7 points.

For the 2008 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season, he was offered alongside Frenchman Mike Di Meglio by Ajo Motorsport to ride for them. They both accepted it, while Di Meglio has a full factory Derbi RSA 125, he use only a standard Derbi RS 125 making him the only Derbi rider to use a standard Derbi bike. But results were improving. He scored big championship points in the 2008 Spanish motorcycle Grand Prix with 8th place, defeating teammate Di Meglio and the 2008 Portuguese motorcycle Grand Prix, he already so far overtook the championship points he earned last season.
