For Re♛dding, the 2023 season could be a make-or-break type of season as results so far in testing have been underwhelming. 

After winning multiple races in both 2020 and 2021 with Aruba.it Ducati, Redding’s switch to BMW saw him strug🌠gling to fight for the podium on a consistent basis, although standout performances at Donington Park and Most showed that the British rider is still capable of fighting the leading trio from last season.

The same g🌞oes for teammate Van Der Mark, who has won races with both Yamaha and BMW in the Superbike championship, although the last of those come in 2021 which remains his only win in the last two seasons since swapping Yamaha for BMW.

Both Redding and Van Der Mark have at times shown frustration t♔owards BMW due to their lack of success in bringing them closer to challenging for a world title, and should that continue to be the case this season th🎉en potential departures could be possible. 

At Bonovo Action, Gerloff is now the only new rider🎃 to BMW machinery as teammate Baz was riding for the team last 🌸season.

Unable to capitalise on his potential at Yamaha, Gerloff will be hoping that BMW can help eliminate some of the things that held him back in 2022, most of which were ri𓆉der related as opposed to a lack of💖 competitiveness from his R1 machine.
