Marino Cruelly Denied Chance to Fight for STK1000 Title at Jerez
Race Report
 

Pata Yamaha Official STK1000 Team's Florian Marino suffered from the worst luck imaginable as he attempted to win the 2017 FIM Superstock 1000 European Championship at the final round of the season in Jerez. Trailing the championship leader by just eight points before the weekend, he was taken out by another rider at the very first corner in Sunday's race. He courageously rejoined in last place and charged through the field to cross the line in 20th, securing third overall in the championship after a heartbreaking end to a brilliant season for the 24-year-old. His teammate Roberto Tamburini had been the man to beat in practice but, unfortunately, he was also caught up in the first corner incident during the race, although he recovered superbly to finish in fifth and end the season fourth in the overall standings.
