LIBIS, QUEZON CITY – The Philippine Racing Team once again received a massive adrenaline rush as the Big Bike Medic team officially announced its partnership with BMW Motorrad Philippines for the upcoming 2026 season. The launch event, held during a highly anticipated race weekend on May 16-17, signaled a bold return to the grid for the German marque.

Team Principal Kenneth Nepomuceno emphasized a forward-looking philosophy, moving past three years of developmental highs and lows. They shine on performance and determination, focusing on this year’s motto, “United We Win.” The collaboration with BMW Motorrad Philippines represents this focus, concentrated on factory-supported racing presence in the local circuit.

BMW Motorrad’s Nico and Lennon highlighted that while podium finishes are the target, the broader goal is to re-engage with the riding community and showcase the endurance and engineering of their 1000cc double-R platform. As its engine roars into life at the Batangas Racing Circuit this weekend, their “progressive edge” can dominate the field with a total blitz toward the finish line.

The BMW S1000RR machine is a homologated race platform designed for concentrated power and precision. These race machines will be piloted by two champions – Lyle Parica and Jacq Buncio. They vowed to prove that the brand belongs at the pinnacle of the race track.
