$BMW duo extends its lead in the #Sidecar World Championship – @BMW #S1000RR dominates in the $BSB #Superstock class and in the $IRRC.


Munich (DE), 10th August 2016. Three different racing events and three big successes for the BMW Motorrad Motorsport racers: this is the summary of the past weekend. In the FIM Sidecar World Championship (SWC), Finnish duo Pekka Päivärinta and Kirsi Kainulainen extended their overall lead by finishing second in Assen (NL). In the British Superbike Championship (BSB) Superstock race in Brands Hatch (GB), Taylor Mackenzie (GB) and Ian Hutchinson (GB) claimed a one-two for the BMW S 1000 RR, cementing their top positions in the championship. The BMW riders in the International Road Racing Championship (IRRC) were in action in Hořice (CZ) and celebrated a double top-five lock-out for the BMW S 1000 RR. These results also led to several changes in the top positions of the 2016 BMW Motorrad Race Trophy.
