Spy shots of Jeremy McWilliams riding a prototype BMW roadracer have fueled speculation that BMW will enter MotoGP for several months. Now, crystal clear photos have emerged showing an FIM-spec transmitter antenna on the tail unit of a finished, beautifully painted BMW race bike piloted by McWilliams in Spain. BMW is ready!
When will we see BMW on the MotoGP grid first? All signs point to it happening this year, and perhaps as early as BMW’s home race in Germany on July 16. Don’t expect race wins (or even podiums) right away. If it does race, BMW will use this year for development, and would hire a top rider or two for a serious effort in 2007.
