Five-time race winner van der Mark joined BMW at the start of the 2021 WSBK season after a long stint at Yamaha, scoring its first victory in eight years in a wet Superpole race at Portimao.
Although the Dutch rider has been mostly out of action this year due to a pre-season injury and a subsequent crash at Estoril that followed his return at Assen, BMW has handed him a new contract that will ensure he will remain on a M1000RR for a third consecutive season in 2023.
