Munich. BMW Motorrad Motorsport has made an important decision for the upcoming season in the FIM Superbike World Championship: Miguel Oliveira will continue to race the BMW M 1000 RR for the ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team in 2027 and beyond. Oliveira joined BMW Motorrad Motorsport and WorldSBK in 2026 after seven years in MotoGP. In his first season as a factory rider with the ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team, the Portuguese rider has already secured four podium finishes.
After missing two race events in May and June due to a serious shoulder injury sustained in a crash at the Balaton Park Circuit (HUN), Oliveira has since been working intensively with BMW Motorrad Motorsport and the team on his comeback and his return to the podium. This close collaboration will now continue on a long-term basis.
Sven Blusch, Head of BMW Motorrad Motorsport: “We are in the middle of the 2026 season, but alongside our intensive preparations for the upcoming races, it is important for us to plan for the future. We are delighted to continue our partnership with Miguel over the coming years. Following his move from MotoGP, he settled into our WorldSBK project very quickly and has become an important part of our team, both on and off the track. We enjoyed a very successful start to the 2026 season together, and already at his second race weekend on the BMW M 1000 RR in Portimão, he finished on the podium in all three races. His injury following an unavoidable crash was, of course, a setback, but we are convinced that we can achieve great things together this season and in the years to come.”
Miguel Oliveira: “Throughout my career, I’ve learned that success is built on the courage to embrace new challenges and the commitment to keep evolving. Extending my journey with BMW Motorrad Motorsport and ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team is a reflection of the trust we’ve built together and of our shared ambition for the future. I understand the responsibility that comes with representing such an iconic brand, and I’m fully committed to giving everything on and off the track to help us achieve our goals. We’ve laid the foundations this season, but I believe the best is still ahead of us. I’m excited to continue this journey together and to keep building something we can all be proud of. I want to thank all the staff the BMW Motorrad and all the guys in the team for trusting in me. Let’s get to work!”
