Julius Ilmberger Jr
Julius is a German racer who began his career in trials all the way up to the 125cc World Championship. He discovered his passion for road racing in 2019, winning the German Twin Trophy that same year, followed by the Pro Thunder win in 2021.
Since 2022, Julius has competed in Pro Superstock aboard the BMW M 1000 RR, and in 2024 he claimed the DLC Championship title in the Superbike class.
The 2025 season marked his first year with Werner’s team. While it was a valuable learning experience, but he could not transfer the speed into good results. A highlight was third place in the AAIMC Stock 1000 race at Pannoniaring.
Now entering his second season with the team in 2026, Julius is better prepared than ever and determined to show his full potential.
Ouri Bikkems
Belgian rider Ouri discovered his passion for motorcycles at a young age. Motocross defined his childhood and teenage years, and it wasn’t long before he was battling for podium finishes.
After years in the dirt and over the jumps, he made the move to asphalt — trading motocross for pure speed, precision, and technical riding on the racetrack.
Today, he rides a BMW M1000RR, fully race-prepared by the elite Werner Daemen – Masteroil Alpha Van Zon BMW team - a machine that embodies my ambition, determination, and passion for racing.
