🥀With Scott Redding already signed for next season, BMW’s decision to retain Van Der Mark means it will continue with the same line-up for a second consecutive season, the first time that’s happened since returning to WorldSBK as a full factory proj💝ect in 2019.

Van Der Mark has only competed in three races so far this se🐻ason ღafter a mountain bike accident during the pre-season ruled him out of the season-opener in Aragon. 

Another h🦹eavy fall, this time during free practice for round three 💯of the championship in Estoril, has since left the Dutchman on the sidelines once again. 

A five-time WorldSBK race winner, Van Der Mark has been with BMW since the b🥃eginning of last seasﷺon, only Eugene Laverty’s tenure with the German manufacturer has been longer. 

With Van Der Mark getting closer to a return and BMW having made 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:huge 💯improvements at Donington Pꦜark, the second half of 2022 could see Redding and Van Der Mark become ꧋regular p🤪odium challengers. 

"I am very happy in the BMW Motorrad Motorsport family and pleased about the extension of our c﷽ollaboration," said Van Der Mark. "Unfortunately, for me personally, the current season has not worked𝓰 out how I had imagined so far. However, I cannot change that. It is now important to recover fully." 

‘I miss everything’, says the eight-year WorldSBK veteran

"I want to get back on my BMW M 1000 RR as quickly as possible. I miss everything – the team, the bike, racing. However, all that matters is what the doctors say, and I am following their recommend𓄧ations.

"We’ll have to see exactly when I can race again. I saw at Assen just how much potential the bike has this season, and the project has made further progress since then – you could see that in the recen൲t races, and it was confirmed by Scott’s podium last time out at Donington. 

"I am looking forward to ♒returning to action and doing my bit. I am sure we have a successful future to🍸gether."

Van Der Mark will miss next week’s second ever WorldSBK round at Most (Czech Republic), however,𒀰 a return following the summer break at Magny-Cours in September is likel🐽y.
