Munich. BMW Motorrad Motorsport is making progress with its plans for the FIM Superbike World Championship 2024 (WorldSBK). The allocation of the four BMW Motorrad factory riders across the two BMW teams will enhance and optimize the overall project.

The Bonovo action BMW Racing Team will benefit from the expertise of Scott Redding (GBR), who has been a BMW Motorrad factory rider since 2022. He will be joined by his factory rider teammate Garrett Gerloff (USA).

The ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team will feature new signing Toprak Razgatlioglu (TUR) and Michael van der Mark (NED), BMW Motorrad factory rider since 2021, as teammates.

Both BMW teams will receive equal support in terms of material specification and technical assistance from the BMW Motorrad Motorsport development department to ensure fair opportunities for all four BMW Motorrad factory riders.

Dr. Markus Schramm, Director of BMW Motorrad, says, “We have four exceptional BMW Motorrad factory riders in our two strong BMW teams, and with this new allocation, we are well-prepared for the WorldSBK season 2024. Scott Redding is an outstanding racer, and we appreciate that he is committed to our BMW Motorrad World Superbike project by utilizing his skills in the Bonovo action BMW Racing Team. His experience, speed, and expertise will be key as we work towards our collective goals alongside Garrett Gerloff and the entire team. The addition of Toprak Razgatlioglu allows us to distribute our factory riders perfectly across our two competitive teams. Alongside Michael van der Mark in the ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team, we have an ideal lineup for the overall project.”

Dr. Schramm continues, “Both teams will work closely with our BMW Motorrad Motorsport engineers to use the riders’ feedback to make continuous improvements to the motorcycle. We also believe that having two teams with top riders will increase the internal competitiveness, which will ultimately enhance the overall performance. We are confident that this new lineup of riders and teams is another important step towards reaching the top of the WorldSBK with our project. Lastly, I would like to thank Loris Baz for his collaboration. He will be leaving the World Superbike project after the current season ends. After his two seasons with the Bonovo action BMW Racing Team, we wish him all the best for the future.”
