The Pata Yamaha Official WorldSBK Team has concluded a productive three-day test at the Circuito de Jerez, as Alex Lowes and Michael van der Mark were joined by Test Rider Niccol Canepa to begin the preparations for the 2018 FIM Superbike World Championship season. The riders tested a number of new parts, working within the revised technical regulations that will affect WorldSBK next year. Between them, they completed 626 laps in three days of perfect weather and collected a huge amount of valuable data for Yamaha's engineers to analyse during the winter break.
