Michael van der Mark, set to replace Miguel Oliveira on Most, will start the fifth round of the World Superbike (WSBK) season with a different pace. The experienced pilot, attracting attention with his return to the track after a long break due to his injury, is preparing to meet the expectations of BMW.
Return in Place of Miguel Oliveira
Experienced pilot Michael van der Mark is entering the race after BMW’s testing and development program. He stated, “Returning to racing is, of course, a nice feeling, but I would have liked it to be in a different scenario.” He noted that Oliveira’s absence during the season was “a true shame,” expressing his happiness to help the team and ride his motorcycle.
Van der Mark stated that he had been through a busy period after leaving the full-time racing grid, due to the World Endurance Championship (EWC) and BMW testing program. He said that his program was completely full for five weeks and he was pleased with the fruits of the testing work.
Ready and Focused on the Race
When asked about which livery he would run in tomorrow’s sessions, van der Mark said, “There are still some things I need to test, but when you come out for a race weekend, you definitely switch into race mode. We need to focus and see if we can improve the motorcycle. But if I see an opportunity to get good results, I will always strive for it.”
Grid Analysis
Van der Mark admitted that it’s difficult to follow the rest of the season from the outside, and also made some assessments about the current grid situation. He praised Miguel Oliveira’s podium successes and Danilo Petrucci’s development, stating that the leading names were not surprising. He highlighted the close competition on the grid, saying, “If you take out the top three or four, the field is extremely close. There are many great battles on the track. I hope everyone can get closer to the leading names; these are the main battles we want to see.”
