赫雷斯·德拉弗龙特拉测试后的报价。
Garrett Gerloff（#31 BMW M 1000 RR，Bonovo action BMW Racing Team）： “总的来说，这是一次很好的测试。我们能够解决一些我们遇到的问题，这很好。总而言之，在两个月没有骑车后再次骑上摩托车并最终跑了几圈真是太好了。我真的很高兴能够前往波尔蒂芒并继续努力加快速度。我觉得我们已经知道我们想要在波尔蒂芒尝试和改变什么，然后我们应该很好地迎接这个赛季。我对这次测试很满意，很高兴与我的团队重聚，并期待几天后再次骑行。”
Toprak Razgatlioglu（#54 BMW M 1000 RR，ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK 团队）： “这两天的测试对我来说非常积极，特别是因为我仍在每一圈学习摩托车并且我正在进步。特别是这两天我们学到了很多东西，也提高了一些东西。我们尝试了很多新零件。有时它们工作得很好，有时则不然，但这是正常的。我们只是试图找到一个好的设置和好的零件。总的来说，这是一次非常积极的测试。没想到单圈成绩是1分38秒。我很惊讶，因为对我来说这辆摩托车还是新的，我还在学习，通常我的计划是可能跑到 1:39，但昨天我立即开始了 1:39，我相信我也可以昨天做了1:38。今天我终于做到了，我对此感到非常高兴，因为我看到了摩托车的潜力，这对我来说非常好。现在我们继续努力，我们只需要找到我的设置。然后我们就开始战斗。”
Scott Redding（#45 BMW M 1000 RR，Bonovo action BMW Racing Team）： “所以，今年前两天的测试已经完成。第一天我感觉很不舒服。这很困难，但我们已经能够跑几圈并找到摩托车的一些感觉。这只是与新团队达成和解并消除蜘蛛网。进入第二天，我感觉好多了，然后我们对摩托车进行了很多训练，以增强我的信心和感觉。我们对设置进行了一些尝试，并测试了宝马的一些新零件，我对我们为增强对摩托车的信心而采取的步骤感到相当满意。我期待着接下来的波尔蒂芒，看看这个设置是否也适用于其他赛道。”

Preparing for WorldSBK 2024: BMW Motorrad Motorsport WorldSBK teams complete intensive testing schedule at Jerez de la Frontera.
25.01.2024
Three teams, six BMW Motorrad Motorsport factory riders; the first test session of the year saw BMW Motorrad Motorsport kick off the critical phase of preparations for the 2024 season in the FIM Superbike World Championship (WorldSBK) with a big line-up.
Jerez de la Frontera. Three teams, six BMW Motorrad Motorsport factory riders; the first test session of the year saw BMW Motorrad Motorsport kick off the critical phase of preparations for the 2024 season in the FIM Superbike World Championship (WorldSBK) with a big line-up. The official tests at Jerez de la Frontera (ESP) on Wednesday and Thursday not only featured the ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team with Toprak Razgatlioglu (TUR) and Michael van der Mark (NED) and the Bonovo action BMW Racing Team with Garrett Gerloff (USA) and Scott Redding (GBR) on the circuit. The BMW Motorrad Motorsport Test Team was also in action with Sylvain Guintoli (FRA) and Bradley Smith (GBR).
The two days of testing in southern Spain also represented the first opportunity to go up against WorldSBK rivals, as all manufacturers were taking part. The BMW Motorrad Motorsport WorldSBK teams and the test team enjoyed good conditions at Jerez de la Frontera, with plenty of sunshine and mild temperatures. They were able to complete a comprehensive testing schedule. The focus was on set-up work in a range of areas such as chassis and electronics, as well as evaluating newly developed components.
A further two days of testing are scheduled for early next week at Portimão, Portugal. Phillip Island in Australia will be the location for final testing on 19th and 20th February. That will be followed by the season-opener there from 23rd to 25th February.
Quotes after the Jerez de la Frontera test.
Garrett Gerloff (#31 BMW M 1000 RR, Bonovo action BMW Racing Team): “Overall, it was a good test. We were able to sort out a few problems that we had which is good. All in all it was just really nice to get on the bike again after two months of not riding and to finally do some laps. I am really excited to head to Portimão and keep trying to get faster. I feel like we have an idea of what we want to try and change at Portimão and then we should be good to go for the season. I am happy with this test, happy to reunite with my team and looking forward to riding again in a few days.”
Toprak Razgatlioglu (#54 BMW M 1000 RR, ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team): “These two days of testing have been very positive for me, especially as I am still learning the bike on every lap and I am improving. Especially on these two days we have learnt a lot and we improved some things. We tried many new parts. Sometimes they worked well, sometimes not, but this is normal. We just try to find a good set-up and good parts. In general, it has been a very positive test. I did not expect to ride a 1:38 lap time. I’m very surprised because for me the bike is still new, I am still learning and usually my plan is to do a mid 1:39 maybe, but yesterday I started straight away with a 1:39 and I believe that I also could have made a 1:38 yesterday. Today I finally made it and I am very happy about it because I see the potential of the bike and this is very good for me. Now we keep working hard and we just need to find my set-up. And after that we will start fighting.”
Scott Redding (#45 BMW M 1000 RR, Bonovo action BMW Racing Team): “So, the first two days of testing this year are completed. On day one I was feeling pretty sick. It has been difficult but we have been able to do some laps and find some feeling with the bike. It was just about settling with the new team and blowing the cobwebs away. Coming into day two I felt a lot better and then we worked a lot with the bike to get my confidence and my feeling. We played a little bit with the set-up and tested a few new parts from BMW and I was reasonably happy with the steps that we made for my confidence on the bike. I am looking forward to Portimão next and see if the set-up also works on another circuit.”
Michael van der Mark (#60 BMW M 1000 RR, ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team): “It has been a busy test; two perfect days with amazing weather, so it was great for testing and I really enjoyed riding again. We’ve been trying to test a lot of different set-ups and different parts on the bike. They have been quite busy days but I really enjoyed it. We are still trying to improve the bike, and are getting better and better. Also myself, my riding has improved so I am quite happy with it. We learnt a lot and I’m looking forward to Portimão. It’s one of my favourite tracks so I can’t wait to go out there and keep working.”
