The Pata Yamaha Official STK1000 Team delivered a superb performance throughout the whole weekend in tricky conditions at Magny-Cours, round eight of the 2017 FIM Superstock 1000 European Championship. Florian Marino showed great pace in every session and put on an incredible display of riding during Sunday's race to finish in second, recording his fifth podium of the season in the process and re-establishing himself in the championship battle. His teammate Roberto Tamburini also impressed, securing pole position on Saturday and recovering brilliantly in Sunday's race after a tricky start to fight back to fourth.
