Buildbase BMW have revealed the extent of the theft they suffered after rider Richard Cooper won the Metzeler National Superstock 1000 title at Donington Park.
A van, later found burned out, was taken from the Asby-de-la-Zouch area between 9pm and 3am and it contained, among other things, Cooper's championship-winning bike and John Laverty's Superbike which is useless as the electronics are locked.
