Van Der Mark, who 𝓰was left fuming after day two in Jerez following an incident with fellow BMW rider Scott Redding, continued development of the German manufacturer’s new swingarm.

Not happy with the results in Jerez, Van Der Mark was much more content with the performance on day one in Portim༺ao.

“We had 𝄹a good day and our programme was just to confirm the parts we tried at Jerez,” Van Der Mark told WorldSBK.com.

“We had two different bikes and did longer runs to do a full comparison. It was quite interesting; this i🍬s a different track and the feedback from the parts was different to Jerez, so there’s a lot to think about.

“We tried a new swingarm; I had it in Jerez as well but this is a different track so we back-to-꧒backed it here.

“I wasn’t happy with it at Jerez but here, I’m a lot happier with it. If it’s working here, we can play with the setup and make it wor🌸k.ꩵ”

When speaking about new parts BMW have left to try, Van 🗹Der Mark said adjusting the set-up is more of a priority before the season-opener at Phillip Island.

“It’s difficult but we didn’t really try much with the set-up, just the parts,”𒉰 said the five-ti🎃me WorldSBK race winner. “If it’s working here we can play with the set-up to make it work.”
