Why it was hero to zero (points) for BMW EWC squad

BMW Motorrad World Endurance Team went from hero to zero (points) in the FIM Endurance World Championship after it retired from the 43rd Coca-Cola Suzuka 8 Hours recently. Following its victory in the inaugural 24H SPA EWC Motos on home soil in June, the Belgian squad arrived in Japan keen on more EWC success.

Also the Dunlop tyres worked well and we have always been in the top ten and rode lap times like the guys on other tyres. This gives us confidence. We will now leave the disappointment behind us and focus on the next one.” FIM EWCSuzuka EWC podium unexpected, admits Yoshimura SERT star Black13/08/2022 AT 11:00 Guarnoni added: “I am really disappointed with this result.
