The BMW Motorrad Motorsport team has many reasons to look forward to a home race weekend at the beautifully appointed Nürburgring circuit, high in the Eifel Mountains, not least because they will have completed 50 race participations in WSBK racing after race two on Sunday. Team riders Troy Corser and Ruben Xaus are each eager to get going after such a long summer break for the series, particularly at their team's home round.

Corser, a winner in Germany in the past, is a fan of the undulating layout of the modern circuit. "I really like the Nürburgring," affirmed Troy. "It's a great racetrack and the perfect venue for motorcycle racing. There are plenty of overtaking opportunities and lots of rises and falls. This generally produces really exciting and spectacular racing - both for us as riders and for the spectators. In the past I've regularly had good results here, including several podium finishes and a race win. I think the circuit will suit the engine and chassis of our bike. Our aim for Friday practice is to settle on a good set-up. If we can do that, then anything is possible this weekend."
