BMW Motorrad World Endurance Team secures 2nd in Spa Thriller.

Spa-Francorchamps. June began with a challenging but highly successful podium for the BMW Motorrad World Endurance Team. Round two of the FIM Endurance World Championship (FIM EWC) took place at Spa-Francorchamps (BEL). The results for the BMW M 1000 RR were second place overall in the FIM EWC for the BMW Motorrad World Endurance Team.

At the home race, the BMW Motorrad World Endurance Team, led by Team Manager Werner Daemen (BEL) and with riders Markus Reiterberger (GER), Sylvain Guintoli (FRA), and Steven Odendaal (RSA), once again mastered extremely tricky conditions. Over the course of eight hours on the famously demanding ‘Ardennes rollercoaster’, the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, heavy rain alternated with drying patches. Starting from third on the grid, the trio skillfully navigated the challenges aboard the #37 BMW M 1000 RR, supported by excellent pit work from the team. The reward was second place and the team’s first podium of the season, following a fourth-place finish at the Le Mans (FRA) season opener, which puts them in third overall after the first two of four rounds of the 2025 calendar.

The season will take a summer break until August, when they return for round three of the 2025 FIM EWC, the eight-hour race at Suzuka, Japan, which will be held on 3rd August.

Markus Reiterberger:

“It was a hard race, especially with these weather conditions, it was not so easy but my teammates and the team did an awesome job, and I also tried my best on and off the track. I think we know where we still can improve but we are happy. It’s our first podium with our new tyres, and we need them especially in these conditions. We are happy that we came through and with P2 we set a good base for our goals in the championship. Now we already fully focus on Suzuka. Thanks to the entire team; I am really delighted that we finished on the podium.”
