With Scott Redding already signed for next season, BMW’s decision to retain Van Der Mark means it will conti🎉nue with the same line-up for a second consecutive season, the first time that’s happened since retuꦅrning to WorldSBK as a full factory project in 2019.

Van Der Mark has only competed in three races so far this season after a mountain bike accident during the pre-season ruled him out of the seaso🦄n-opener in Aragon. 

Another heavy 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 beginning of last season, only Eugen🌳e 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 Park, the second﷽ half of 2022 could see Redding and Van Der Mark become regular podium challengers. 

"I am very hap꧒py in the BMW Motorrad Motorsport family and pleased about the extension of our collaboration," said Van Der Mark. "Unfortunately, for me personally, the current season has not worked out how I had imag🅺ined 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 t🎉heir recommendations.

"We’ll have to see exactly when I can race again. I saw at Assen just how much potential the bike has this season, and꧙ the project has made further progress since then – you could see that in the recent races, and it was confirmed by Scott’s podium last time out at Donington. 

"I am looking forward t𝓰o returning to action and doing my 🌞bit. I am sure we have a successful future together."

Van Der Mark will miss next week’s second ever WorldSBK round at Most (Czech Republic), h♕owever, a return following the summer break at Magny-Cours in September is likely.&𝐆nbsp;
