![]() ![]() Obviously, after a tough weekend at Barcelona, it would be nice to try to get back to where we were, but again it’s another new track for me with BMW, so I don’t know the potential. I quite enjoy riding it because of the character, the up and down, the long corners, the slow corners, so I am very excited to go there. Scott Redding, BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team: “For me, Portimão is a good circuit, very technical. We want to bring the European leg of the season to a close on a high so that we can then carry the momentum into the final spurt overseas.” In the short time since Barcelona, we have worked hard to analyse where our weaknesses are and how we can solve them. The character of the track at Portimão has suited us in the past, and we hope that will be the case again this year. It is also important to significantly cut the gap to the front-runners with all four riders. In the final races in Europe, we need to carry on where we left off at Magny-Cours. Marc Bongers, BMW Motorrad Motorsport Director: “After Barcelona, where we fell short of our own expectations at times, we now want to start afresh at Portimão. He and team-mate Loris Baz (FRA) have their sights set on more strong results for the team. ![]() Portimão is a home event for Eugene Laverty (IRL), who has lived just a few kilometres from the racetrack for a number of years now. The Bonovo action BMW Racing Team finished in the top ten in all Barcelona three races, and is now determined to improve on that performance at Portimão, at a circuit that ought to be more suited to the BMW M 1000 RR. The team and van der Mark have fond memories of Portimão, where the Dutchman last year won the Superpole race on the Sunday morning. Scott Redding (GBR) is looking instead to back up the success he had enjoyed previously, while team-mate Michael van der Mark (NED) is hoping to take the next step towards the front of the field. The BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team has moved on from the difficult race weekend at Barcelona (ESP). The final three events of the season will be held in Argentina, Indonesia and Australia. BMW Motorrad Motorsport, the BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team and the Bonovo action BMW Racing Team then head overseas. Autódromo Internacional do Algarve near Portimão (POR) is the venue for round nine of the season. BMW Motorrad Motorsport will compete at the final European event of the 2022 FIM Superbike World Championship (WorldSBK) this weekend (7th to 9th October).
