The 2019 FIM Superbike World Championship 2019 (WorldSBK) gets
underway on Phillip Island, Australia this weekend. Part of the
action: the new BMW S 1000 RR and BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team, with
the two riders Tom Sykes (GBR) and Markus Reiterberger (GER). The
2019 BMW Motorrad Motorsport Media Guide provides comprehensive
information on the WorldSBK with the new RR.
The Media Guide explains details of the race and production version
of the new BMW S 1000 RR. In interviews, BMW Motorrad Motorsport
Director Marc Bongers and Team Principal Shaun Muir look ahead at the
