Munich (DE), 13th April 2015. BMW works driver and Brand Ambassador Alessandro Zanardi (IT) has successfully started his 2015 para-cycling season. He dominated at his first international handbike event of the year in the Italian region of Tuscanny, winning the weekend’s two races and celebrating the overall victory.

 

The competition was held at Marina di Massa (IT) on the Mediterranean coast over a flat course along the waterfront. On Saturday, Zanardi won the 45 kilometre road race, on Sunday he was victorious in the 16 kilometre time trial. In doing so, he was also the winner of the event’s combined overall rankings. With this success, he collected 16 important points for the para-cycling world rankings, which is also a qualifying criteria for the 2016 Paralympic Games at Rio de Janeiro (BR).

 

“I am very, very happy with my performance and it was a perfect way to start the season," Zanardi stated. “I collected important points for the world rankings and it was a good opportunity to compare my level of performance with my mates from the Italian national team. I have to say that I am pleased because my average speed was around 41 km/h, which is not too bad.”

 

In the coming weeks, Zanardi will turn his focus to motor racing again. Together with BMW Motorsport, he will continue to prepare for the legendary 24-hour race at Spa-Francorchamps (BE). At this endurance classic, which will be held at the end of July, he will share the cockpit of his BMW Z4 GT3 with other drivers for the first time ever.

CO2 emission information.

Fuel consumption, CO2 emission figures and power consumption and range were measured using the methods required according to Regulation VO (EC) 2007/715 as amended. They refer to vehicles on the German automotive market. For ranges, the NEDC figures take into account differences in the selected wheel and tyre size, while the WLTP figures take into account the effects of any optional equipment.

All figures have already been calculated based on the new WLTP test cycle. NEDC figures listed have been adjusted to the NEDC measurement method where applicable. WLTP values are used as a basis for the assessment of taxes and other vehicle-related duties which are (also) based on CO2 emissions and, where applicable, for the purposes of vehicle-specific subsidies. Further information on the WLTP and NEDC measurement procedures is also available at www.bmw.de/wltp.

For further details of the official fuel consumption figures and official specific CO2 emissions of new cars, please refer to the “Manual on the fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and power consumption of new cars”, available at sales outlets free of charge, from Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH (DAT), Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760 Ostfildern-Scharnhausen and at https://www.dat.de/co2/.
