Munich (DE), 5th October 2016. Four major championships were on the
schedule for the BMW customer teams and the experts from BMW Motorrad
Motorsport last weekend. The MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship
(WorldSBK) and the FIM Superstock 1000 Cup (STK1000) held their races
in Magny-Cours. In the STK1000, Raffaele De Rosa (IT) rode onto the
podium again. The penultimate round of the 2016 FIM CEV Superbike
European Championship (CEV) took place in Jerez de la Frontera (ES),
with Maximilian Scheib (CL) claiming a double podium with his BMW S
1000 RR. The famous TT Circuit in Assen (NL) hosted the penultimate
round of the 2016 British Superbike Championship (BSB). On all
occasions, the RR riders scored more points towards the BMW Motorrad
Race Trophy (see full standings below).
MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship in Magny-Cours, France.
For the 11th round of the 2016 MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship
(WorldSBK), the teams travelled to Magny-Cours in central France. Race
one on Saturday was held in tricky conditions. There was rain before
and during the race, but the track surface dried. This made tyre
choice a difficult task and many riders went into the pits halfway
through the race to change to slick tyres. Joshua Brookes (AU /
Milwaukee BMW), who had opted for slicks right from the start and did
not pit, was the highest placed BMW rider, crossing the line in 12th.
The two Althea BMW Racing Team riders Jordi Torres (ES) and Markus
Reiterberger (DE), Karel Abraham (CZ / Milwaukee BMW) and Matthieu
Lussiana (FR / Team ASPI) all went into the pits to change tyres.
Torres finished the race in 14th place, Abraham was 16th, followed by
Reiterberger in 17th and Lussiana came home in 20th position. The
second race on Sunday was held in dry conditions. This time, Torres
crossed the line in seventh on his BMW S 1000 RR. Brookes was 11th,
Reiterberger followed directly behind in 12th. Abraham finished the
race in 16th, Lussiana retired.
FIM Superstock 1000 Cup in Magny-Cours, France.
The title fight in the 2016 FIM Superstock 1000 Cup (STK1000) is in
full swing. In the seventh and penultimate race of the year in
Magny-Cours (FR), Raffaele De Rosa (IT) reduced the gap to the overall
leader. De Rosa rode to third on the podium on his Althea BMW Racing
Team BMW S 1000 RR. It was his fifth podium finish of the season. Eric
Vionnet (CH / Motos Vionnet) also came home in the points, crossing
the line in 15th.
In the championship standings, De Rosa is second overall and only
seven points behind leader Leandro Mercado (AR) with one race to go.
The final round will be held in two week’s time in Spanish Jerez.
FIM CEV Superbike European Championship in Jerez, Spain.
The FIM CEV Superbike European Championship (CEV) also held its
penultimate round of the 2016 season last weekend. The races took
place in Jerez (ES). Maximilian Scheib (CL / Targobank EasyRace SBK
Team) continued his streak of podium finishes on his BMW S 1000 RR.
The young Chilean ended both races in second place and rode the
fastest lap in race two. In the ten races held so far this season,
Scheib has stood on the podium on nine occasions. In the overall
standings, he is second. His team-mate Marcos Solorza (AR) finished
both races in fifth position. Roberto Blazquez (ES / ARC Competición)
was 14th and 12th respectively.
British Superbike Championship in Assen, the Netherlands.
The famous TT Circuit in Assen (NL) hosted two races for the
Superbike class of the British Superbike Championship (BSB SBK) last
weekend. Michael Laverty (GB / Tyco BMW) was the highest placed BMW
rider, finishing sixth on both occasions. Richard Cooper (GB /
Buildbase BMW Motorrad) also ended both races in the top ten, claiming
eighth and tenth respectively. Laverty’s Tyco BMW team-mate Christian
Iddon (GB) was 12th and eighth. Points also went to Jakub Smrz (CZ /
Smiths Racing BMW), who crossed the line in 14th and 11th, and to Lee
Jackson (GB / Buildbase BMW Motorrad), who came home in 15th and 13th.
