Big potential, small reward for out-of-luck BMW EWC team
BMW Motorrad World Endurance Team enjoyed a Bol d’Or high before experiencing a Bol d’Or low when Circuit Paul Ricard hosted an action-packed finale to the FIM Endurance World Championship season earlier this month. After topping the qualifying order with a new lap record effort from Illya Mykhalchyk, hopes were high for a second victory in this season’s EWC as the 100th-anniversary Bol d’Or got underway at 15h00 CET seven days ago. Ad But hope soon turned to frustration for the ace Belgian squad after a powertrain issue meant an early exit for the #37 entry.
