Michael Van Der Mark has called the atmosphere inside the BMW garage ‘really good’ after being joined by 2021 WorldSBK champion Toprak Razgatlioglu.
Former teammates at Pata Yamaha, Toprak Razgatlioglu and Michael Van Der Mark, reunited at the Portimao test as they prepare to attack the 2024 WorldSBK season together. Razgatlioglu switched to BMW for a new challenge, while Van Der Mark returned as a full factory team rider. Despite less than ideal conditions, Razgatlioglu was pleased with his initial laps aboard the M 1000 RR. Van Der Mark, unfortunately, did not have many test laps, but enjoyed being with the team and having Razgatlioglu in the garage. Both riders are hopeful for better luck in future tests.
