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 be f🦹aced with 🍸fuel flow limit reductions.

The rule comes after Ducati’s Nicolo Bulega won all three races in Australia, and𝓀 BMW’s Toprak Razgatlioglu won all three in Portugal.

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

“This is🙈 good for the other brands,” Razgatlioglu claimed at Ass💃en.

“[The🌞y can] have more of a battle, I am happy for this situatio🍨n.

“But, for me, it is strange, this situation. D𓂃ucati get onl♛y one?

“In Portimao we sawꦯ that Ducati is very strong like BꦺMW.

“For me, this is not really correct.

“But no problem. This is the decision. Rules are𒐪 rules.

“I am really ha♏ppy for the other brands to have more of a battl𓂃e.”

Ducati 'not faster' due to WorldSBK rule

H꧃is 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 liꦏve it. We are BMW, we w꧃ill be strong.”

Ducati’s riders were less annoyed but notღed t🧜hat they would also be hampered by the rule.

Bulega🎉 said: “I don’t know. It’s not a question for me. Youꦜ have to ask the engineers.

“For sure, we won’t go faster…”

His teammate Al🤪varo Bautista added: “What to say? I am not an engineer. Let’s see during the weekend…”

Ducati and BMW’s fuel flow has been reduced from 47kg/h to 46.5kg/hꦿ while their rivals remain a🅘t 47kg/h.

The rule also allows WorldSBK to🧜 furthe🔴r reduce the fuel flow rate at two other landmarks in the 2025 season, if they believe it is merited.
