Markus Reiterberger is a four-time German champion after he secured his country’s prestigious IDM title last weekend to add to his previous championship triumphs in 2013, 2015 and 2017. His success, with two events remaining, was also the eighth time that his BCC-alpha-Van Zon-BMW team, led by Werner Daemen, had celebrated an IDM riders’ crown. Ad Reiterberger, who won the FIM Endurance World Championship-counting 24H SPA EWC Motos for BMW Motorrad Endurance Team in June, secured the IDM title with wins in both races at Assen in The Netherlands after his closest rival Florian Alt, who also competes against Reiterberger in the FIM Endurance World Championship for Viltaïs Racing Igol, retired from Race 2 with a technical issue.

Jonathan Rea, the six-time winner of the FIM Superbike World Championship, has revealed the level of effort required to bid for victory in the FIM Endurance World Championship.

Ad Having qualified second fastest, the #10 Kawasaki ZX-10RR led the race on lap nine, and from lap 29 to 30 during a gruelling race of attrition.
Toprak Razgatlioglu has revealed the rivalry between himself and Jonathan Rea hasn’t always “looked great” behind the scenes. The pair fought hard for last year’s title with Razgatlioglu coming out on top by just 13 points. Their battle has continued this season, although they have been joined by Ducati’s Alvaro Bautista in the fight for the championship.
Kawasaki boss Guim Roda believes the second safety car in yesterday’s Suzuka Eight-Hours limited his team’s chances of a win and then a slow-speed fall from Jonathan Rea sealed the deal.
Kawasaki’s Alex Lowes had to fly straight from the Most WorldSBK round to compete in yesterday’s Suzula Eight-Hours despite suffering from illness.
Whilst there might have been drama and heartbreak behind, it was a dominant win for #33 Team HRC in 43rd Coca-Cola Suzuka 8 Hours with the line-up of Tetsuta Nagashima, Takumi Takahashi and Iker Lecuona taking the chequered flag by over a lap in the third round of the FIM Endurance World Championship. There has been late drama and a safety car in the final hour of the race after the leading season-contender #7 YART — Yamaha Official Team YZF-M1 got caught up with the #74 Akeno Speed – Yamaha Superstock bike at T13 such that rider Marvin Fritz had to dig the Yamaha out of the air barriers to get it back to the pits.
