Munich. The #bmwmotorrad #WorldSBK #team and #tomsykes (GBR) will continue their successful cooperation in the FIM Superbike World Championship (WorldSBK) in the coming 2020 season.

The #bmwmotorrad #WorldSBK #team entered #WorldSBK in 2019. Armed with the new RR, which was presented to the international public in November 2018 and prepared for its outings in #WorldSBK during the short time available over the winter break, the #team has made gradual progress throughout its debut season. Sykes has already featured on the podium in Misano (ITA), Donington Park (GBR) and Laguna Seca (USA).

Marc Bongers, #bmwmotorrad Motorsport Director: “Continuity and stability are critical factors for the success of a project. #tomsykes has consistently moved in a forward direction with the new #BMWS1000RR. This is the fruit of harmonious collaboration. Which is why we are delighted to be continuing this shared journey in the upcoming season.”

Shaun Muir, #team Principal #bmwmotorrad #WorldSBK #team: “As expected, we have taken the option in Tom’s contract and extended it for a further year, this is good for our continuity and for the development for the #BMWS1000RR. We hope that we can we progress further up the grid and fight for regular podium finishes in 2020.”

Tom Sykes: “I’m proud to be continuing in to the 2020 season with the #bmwmotorrad #WorldSBK #team. After such a successful year so far with the all-new #BMWS1000RR, which is still very early in its development, gives me great motivation moving forward. I really enjoy the development part and we are certainly moving in a strong way. Of course, with the support from the whole of the #team and the prestigious BMW brand my expectations for the 2020 season will certainly move higher and back to where I feel most natural. I will also take this moment to welcome Eugene on board. I’m looking forward to have him as a team-mate for 2020.”
