What Happened

Miguel Oliveira will continue racing for the ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team in 2027 and beyond, BMW Motorrad Motorsport announced on 3 September. The Portuguese rider will contest his second FIM Superbike World Championship season aboard the BMW M 1000 RR. Oliveira joined BMW and WorldSBK in 2026 after seven years in MotoGP and has recorded four podium finishes in his debut factory season.

  3. 2027

    Planned second WorldSBK season on the BMW M 1000 RR

Oliveira missed two race events in May and June after sustaining a serious shoulder injury in a crash at Hungary's Balaton Park Circuit. Since then, he has been working intensively with BMW Motorrad Motorsport and the team on his comeback and return to the podium. The manufacturer says this close collaboration will now continue on a long-term basis.

“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.”
— Sven Blusch, Head of BMW Motorrad Motorsport
“We've laid the foundations this season, but I believe the best is still ahead of us.”
— Miguel Oliveira

Why this matters

The extension gives BMW Motorrad's factory superbike team stability and a proven podium finisher for 2027 after Oliveira's quick adaptation following his move from MotoGP. His four podiums in a season interrupted by injury show the team's confidence in his potential, and the long-term deal allows rider and team to build on the foundations laid this year.
