Michael Dunlop dominates the Southern 100 on his BMW S 1000 RR – BMW racer Michal Prášek is crowned champion in the Alpe Adria Road Racing Championship.

Munich (DE), 20th July 2016. Eight wins and a total of 15 podium
finishes in 11 races on three continents: this is the latest summary
of the BMW Motorrad Motorsport racers. Michael Dunlop (GB) dominated
the Southern 100 on the Isle of Man with his Hawk Racing BMW S 1000
RR. In the Superstock class of the Alpe Adria Road Racing Championship
(AARR STK), Michal Prášek (CZ / Rohac and Fejta motoracing team)
secured the title with races to spare after finishing twice on the
podium in Most (CZ). His fellow BMW racers Lukáš Pešek (CZ) and Marcin
Walkowiak (PL) also celebrated wins and podiums at the Most AARR
round. In the Canadian Superbike Championship (CSBK), Jordan Szoke
(CA) claimed another double win and Ben Young (CA) also stepped onto
the podium after both races in Shubenacadie (CA). In the SuperBike
Series Brasil (BRSBK), Danilo Lewis (BR) established his championship
lead by finishing second in São Paulo (BR). These results led to major
changes at the top of the 2016 BMW Motorrad Race Trophy.

 

 

2016 BMW Motorrad Race Trophy.

 

The battle for the top positions of the 2016 BMW Motorrad Race Trophy
is in full swing. Michal Prášek (CZ / AARR STK) defended the lead by
claiming two podium finishes at the penultimate round of the season in
Most (CZ). He now has 325.60 Race Trophy points to his name. His
closest rival is now Jordan Szoke (CA / CSBK), who climbed from eighth
to second with 291.25 points after celebrating another double win last
weekend. New in third is Michael Dunlop (GB) with 239.35 points. With
his four wins at the Southern 100, which counts for the Race Trophy
through the BMW Combined Road Race Challenge (BMW RRC), he improved
from 16th in the standings. Lukáš Pešek (CZ) is new in fourth with
233.60 points courtesy of a win and a podium in the Superbike class of
the Alpe Adria Road Racing Championship (AARR SBK) (see full standings below).

 

 

Southern 100 on the Isle of Man.

 

It was a dominant performance: Hawk Racing rider Michael Dunlop (GB)
proved to be unbeatable with his BMW S 1000 RR at the Southern 100 on
the Isle of Man. The 27-year old participated in four of the event’s
races – and won all four of them by a wide margin.

 

In the “Corlett’s Trophies” race, Dunlop was 12 seconds faster then
the rest of the field. In the “Ellan Vannin Fuels Senior Race”, his
advantage was no less than 25 seconds. In the prestigious “Manx Gas
Solo Championship” – the most important race of the week – he won with
a margin of seven seconds. The Hawk Racing rider completed his triumph
with his fourth win of the event in the “Island Aggregates Senior
Race”, with an advantage of 15 seconds.

 

 

Alpe Adria Road Racing Championship in Most, Czech Republic.

 

The fourth and penultimate round of the 2016 Alpe Adria Road Racing
Championship (AARR) was held at Most (CZ) last weekend. At his home
round, BMW racer Michal Prášek (CZ) secured an early title win in the
Superstock class (AARR STK). The Rohac and Fejta motoracing team rider
finished the two races in second and third on the podium. In the eight
races held so far this season, Prášek has claimed five wins and three
more podiums – and was crowned champion before the final round is held
at the end of September at the Slovakia Ring (SK). It was Prášek’s
second consecutive title win on the BMW S 1000 RR.

 

The old and new champion, however, was not the highest placed BMW
rider in the Superstock races at Most. Marcin Walkowiak (PL / Team LRP
Poland) won the first encounter and finished the second heat in second
place. Marek Hartl (CZ / Dafitmotoracing) completed the successful
outing for the RR racers, coming home in fourth and fifth.

 

There was also reason to celebrate in the highest category of the
series, in the Superbike class (AARR SBK). Lukáš Pešek (CZ / BMW
Motorrad CSEU) secured a dominant win in race two, crossing the line
more than seven seconds in front of his closest rival. Pešek had also
stepped onto the podium in race one by claiming second place. His
team-mates Miloš Cihak (CZ) and Martin Choy (BG) also raced into the
top five on both occasions. Cihak ended both races in fourth, Choy
took fifth in both encounters.

The winning streak continues: Jordan Szoke (CA / Mopar Express Lane
BMW Superbike Team) keeps dominating the Canadian Superbike
Championship (CSBK). Races number four and five of the 2016 season
were held at “Atlantic Motorsport Park” near Shubenacadie (CA) last
weekend. Szoke celebrated another double win and extended his lead in
the championship. It is now 12 races in a row that Szoke has won with
his BMW S 1000 RR.

 

He was joined on the podium by fellow BMW rider Ben Young (CA / Ben
Young Racing), who finished both races in third position. Michael Leon
(CA / Royal Distributing Racing Team) crossed the line in fourth and fifth.

 

 

SuperBike Series Brasil in São Paulo, Brazil
.
