Approximately 200 guests were present, joining BMW Group Motorsport Director Jens Marquardt and Dr Markus Schramm, Head of BMW Motorrad. Also present in the event was presenters Eve Scheer and Alexander Hofmann.
“Congratulations to Davey Todd on winning the 2019 BMW Motorrad Race Trophy. He really impressed in his rookie season in the IRRC,” says Dr. Markus Schramm as quoted from BMW Motorrad.
“It was another fantastic season for our BMW Motorrad Motorsport customer teams. Our new BMW S 1000 RR made its debut this year. Not only in the FIM Superbike World Championship, in which we exceeded our expectations with four podium finishes, but private BMW customer teams were also successful with the new RR and its predecessor. They dominated in various international and national championships and also set the pace at major road racing events. Our customer teams celebrated titles, race wins and podiums all over the world. We are very proud of that, and our customers are the best ambassadors for BMW Motorrad that we could wish for.”

“I’m very happy to have won the BMW Motorrad Race Trophy, and also proud”, says Davey Todd.
“The competition is very high as so many really strong BMW riders from different championships around the world take part. So it’s great to be the best of them, even more as I was a newcomer. I had a great first season in the International Road Racing Championship. Honestly, I did not expect to be able to get so many wins and podiums when I headed to the first round. As in the IRRC, there are so many very experienced and fast road racers. But I had a strong bike and an experienced team around me, so we were able to set the pace in the series from the first race on – and that enabled me also to claim strong results in other road racing events like the podiums at the North West 200 and the Ulster Grand Prix. I want to thank everybody who made this possible.”
