Despite earlier speculation that BMW was unwilling to replace Suzuki in MotoGP, Flasch’s comments hint at a possible rethink by the company. He emphasized that the key to the decision is to convince people of the idea, and a thorough strategic analysis is needed.

Flasch also mentioned BMW’s consideration of entering MotoGP, including the importance of the brand and the global reach of the category, as well as the possibility of technology transfer. However, he stressed that his personal passion for MotoGP was not the only factor behind BMW’s consideration.
