ILYA MIKHALCHIK (UKR) #37 | IDM SUPERBIKE

I’m really looking forward to the new season. Obviously I’m hungry after finishing second last year. I didn’t like losing the title – which I held two years earlier – to Jonas (Folger), even though I really enjoyed fighting with him. I learned a lot and will try to take that with me this year. I’m looking forward to the many new riders in the class, but also to the old ones, and hope that I can fight for the title again this year. That is my clear goal. For this I have trained very hard in the last few weeks, because the level in the IDM has risen a lot, which I think is great. I can’t wait for the new season to finally start.

TIM EBY (GER) #17 | IDM SUPERBIKE

Of course my expectations are higher for this new season than they were last year and I hope that I can improve again. But I don’t want to promise too much either. My goal is to go a bit faster on every track than I did last year while I will try to avoid to crash and try to stay injury-free. I’m looking forward to the new teammates Jan and Pepijn and the teamwork with them and Ilya. I trained hard the whole off-season and prepared myself as best as I could for the new season. I’m just looking forward to a great time and working with my team at IDM. 

PEPIJN BIJSTERBOSCH #55 | IDM SUPERBIKE

I am very happy to be able to return to Werner’s team after all these years. We have always worked very well together. Being part of the old team again makes me very happy. The material we get from BMW is very, very good and that’s an extra motivation for me. I would like to be in the top three of the championship again this year and I will give everything for that! 

JAN MOHR #5 | IDM SUPERBIKE

First of all, I would like to thank Werner, Robert (Eby) and the whole team for letting me start with them. It’s just the best team in the championship and you can see that if you look at the team’s stats over the past ten years and they’ve been amazing. So now I have no more excuses with the best bike in the class. I’ll give it my all and then let’s see where I go. I would like to be on the podium consistently and regularly. I’m particularly looking forward to my home race in Spielberg. I gained my first experience on asphalt here in 2012, but haven’t been here since 2014. The facility is awesome and I’m really looking forward to this event. It would be perfect if I could win there. I am very motivated and have trained hard. I am also looking forward to work with my new teammates. Ilya is a very good rider and he has a very nice technique and I hope that with his help I can improve. I’m ready, the season can start.
