BMW Motorrad Motorsport heads to its ‘home’ round at the Nürburgring this weekend in a position of real strength in the 2012 Superbike World Championship, with a commanding lead in both the Riders’ and the Manufacturers’ standings.
Following Marco Melandri’s successful exploits at the inaugural WSBK round at the Moscow Raceway just a fortnight ago – where he celebrated a double podium and his sixth race win of the year – the hard-charging Italian took over the lead in the overall classification from rival Max Biaggi and now heads up the rider standings by a healthy 18.5 points.
With a 26.5 points lead in the Manufacturers’ Standings, it is a great time for BMW Motorrad Motorsport to celebrate its home round at the Nürburgring. However, according to Head of Race Operations Andrea Dosoli, it will be ‘business as usual’ for the team, as it aims to consolidate its advantage in both championships as the series enters these important final three rounds.
