BMW are not pleased with the fuel flow rule which has been brought in for this weekend’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbike Championship round.

WorldSBK announced that, from Assen, 🌃BMW and Ducati will b⛦e faced with fuel flow limit reductions.

The rule comes after Ducati’s N💞icolo Bulega won all three races in Australia, and BMW’s Toprak Razgatlioglu won all three in Portugal.

But Razgatlioglu claims that Ducati were significantly more competitive in Portugal than BMW managed to be in Australia, so points to a flaw in the♓ rule.

“This iꦜs good for the other brands,” Razga꧂tlioglu claimed at Assen.

“[They can] have more of a battle, I am happy fo🐻r this situati✤on.

“But, 🗹for me, it is strange, th🍸is situation. Ducati get only one?

“In Portimao we saw that Ducati is ver🌠y strong like BMW.

“For me, this is not really correct.

“But no problem. This is🍃 the decision. Rules are rules.

“I am really happy for the other brands to have mꦛore of a♔ battle.”

Ducati 'not faster' due to WorldSBK rule

His BMW teammate Michael van der Mark said: “Rules are rules - I can say whatever I want🎃 but they won’t change it.

“So, we have to live it. We are B꧋MW, w🅰e will be strong.”

Ducati’s riders෴ꦇ were less annoyed but noted that they would also be hampered by the rule.

Bulega said: “I don’t know. It’s not a question for me. You have to ask the enginee🃏rs.

“For sure, we won’t go faster…”

His teammate Alvaro Bautista added: “What to say? I am not a﷽n engineer. Let’s see d🎉uring the weekend…”

Duca𓃲ti and BMW’s fuel flow has been reduced from 47kg/h to 46.5kg/h while their riv🌄als remain at 47kg/h.

The rule also allows WorldSB🥂K to further reduce the fuel flo෴w rate at two other landmarks in the 2025 season, if they believe it is merited.
