FIM Superbike World Championship 2024 Round 3 Assen

The FIM Superbike World Championship (WSBK) is a competition in which motorcycle manufacturers from around the world enter their flagship machines. The third round of the 2024 season will be held at the TT Circuit Assen in the Netherlands from Friday 19th to Sunday 21st April. This time we will give you a race preview of the third race, Assen.

There is only one so-called flyaway match on this season’s WSBK calendar, the opening match at Phillip Island (Australia). The remaining 11 rounds will all be held at European circuits. The second match against Catalonia (Barcelona) had a different power profile than the opening match against Phillip Island.

This season has seen a series of major transfers, and the transfer group finally showed their true potential in the second game. 2021 WSBK World Champion Toprak Razgatlioglu (BMW) takes pole position. In race 1, he won after a battle with rookie Niccolo Brega (Ducati). He also won the following Super Pole race. In race 2, Razgatlioglu was able to pass two Ducati works riders in front of him, but finished in 3rd place. I was on the podium in every race.

After the second round, there were four winners in the main race: Niccolo Brega (Ducati), Alex Laws (Kawasaki), Toprak Razgatlioglu (BMW), and Alvaro Bautista (Ducati). Until last year, the podium was shared between three players with world championship experience, but this year it has become a crowded race where it is difficult to predict the power balance.

However, what emerged in the second race was a “championship Ducati vs. BMW”. In particular, BMW won for the first time in three years since Michael van der Mark (BMW) in 2021. However, this was a victory in the Super Pole race, so it was the first time in 11 years since Chaz Davis won the final main race in 2013.

BMW entered the company’s first superbike machine, the BMW S1000RR, as a works team until 2013. Since then, it has been participating in the race as a privateer, but from 2019 it has resumed participation as a works team. And from 2021, we have launched the BMW M1000RR, which bears the “M” title used in the company’s four-wheeled sports model.
