My goal is to improve my best lap time on the BMW M1000RR, a motorcycle I\u2019m very familiar with. After my 2025 injury, my main focus is on regaining full fitness, getting back on the mountain courses, and hopefully joining the 130 mph club.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brian McCormack shared his excitement about competing alongside Datzer in 2026, something he had hoped for but couldn\u2019t achieve last year due to Datzer\u2019s absence. \u201cI\u2019m really looking forward to having our desired team lineup in 2025 and 2026.
