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.
