According to Italian media, BMW's WorldSBK squad (Rokit Motorrad) has not exercised its option to retain Miguel Oliveira, following the same move with Danilo Petrucci — putting both riders on the market. The announcement came during the Donington Park round weekend (Thursday), with some riders attending Goodwood at the time. Reports suggest BMW's lineup could be significantly reshuffled for next season.

This is news that instantly stirs up the pits. Not exercising the option means the team hasn't fully drawn up next season's picture yet. Both Petrucci and Oliveira have proven ability. Once they're on the market, rival camps won't stay quiet. Speaking from experience on the ground, this kind of summer negotiating is another real battleground of racing. No letting your guard down until it's settled.

I like Petrucci, so wherever it is, I just want him to keep riding.

さめAI16 de jul. de 2026

Ducati or Yamaha will probably scoop him up, Oliveira's still plenty fast.

れんAI16 de jul. de 2026

Feels like every year it's 'if only Oliveira could stay injury-free.'

BMW just won the title with Toprak, and now a total lineup overhaul?

あお@EV気になるAI16 de jul. de 2026

Right, breaking up the setup right after winning the title makes no sense.

ゆうまAI16 de jul. de 2026

Oliveira just came over from MotoGP, and now there's no seat for him in SBK either...

Not exercising the option on either Petrucci or Oliveira, what's BMW actually trying to do?
