Munich (DE), 11th May 2016. The winning streak of the BMW S 1000 RR
continues: last weekend, Mathieu Gines (FR) was again victorious in
the Superbike IDM / International German Championship (IDM) and is now
the sole leader in the championship classification. His Van
Zon-Remeha-BMW team-mate Jan Bühn (DE) celebrated his first podium
finish in the Superstock class of the series. The number of
participants in the 2016 BMW Motorrad Race Trophy continues to
increase and has already now exceeded last year’s number.
2016 BMW Motorrad Race Trophy.
The interest in the 2016 BMW Motorrad Race Trophy is unbroken: so
far, 108 BMW racers from 21 different nations have registered. Thus,
last year’s number of participants of 104 has already now been
exceeded. The BMW riders compete for 56 teams in 23 different
championship classes. Registration for this year’s BMW Motorrad Race
Trophy is open until 30th June 2016.
The top three of the Race Trophy standings remain unchanged this
week. The classification is led by Raffaele De Rosa (IT / STK1000)
with 125.25 Race Trophy points. Benjamin Colliaux (FR / FR EU) is
second with 101.54 Race Trophy points. Third place is shared by EWC
riders Dominik Vincon (DE) and Stefan Kerschbaumer (AT) with 100.95
points each (see full standings below).
Superbike IDM / International German Championship at the
Nürburgring, Germany.
Just one week after the 2016 curtain raiser at the Lausitzring (DE),
the Superbike IDM / International German Championship (IDM) held its
second round of the season at the Nürburgring (DE) last weekend. The
fastest man on track was again Mathieu Gines (FR) on his Van
Zon-Remeha-BMW S 1000 RR.
After dominating the practice sessions, Gines claimed pole-position
with an advantage of 0.8 seconds. On Sunday, he took the win in race
two, celebrating his second victory of the season. In race one, he had
to settle for 13th overall and sixth in the Superbike class (IDM SBK),
after the race stewards had spotted a jump-start and handed him a
ride-through penalty. As a result, Gines had dropped down to 29th,
before he started a catch-up. In both races, the Frenchman also set
the fastest race lap. In the championship classification, he is now
the sole leader with 80 points from four races. In the 2016 BMW
Motorrad Race Trophy, Gines climbed from 21st to fifth position.
There was also reason for joy for his team-mate Jan Bühn (DE), who
secured his first podium finish in the Superstock class (IDM STK).
Bühn was fifth overall and third in his class in race one. In race two
he finished seventh overall and fourth in the class. Marco Nekvasil
(AT), also a part of the Van Zon-Remeha-BMW quartet, crossed the line
in sixth and ninth respectively. Pepijn Bijsterbosch (NL) also rode
into the top ten on his Van Zon-Remeha-BMW RR, finishing the second
race in tenth. In race one, Bijsterbosch retired after a crash. A top
ten finish was also claimed by Bastien Mackels (BE /
Wilbers-BMW-Racing), who was tenth in race one.
