The Pata Yamaha Official WorldSBK Team pairing of Michael van der Mark and Alex Lowes head into Round 11 of the FIM World Superbike Championship at Circuit de Nevers in Magny-Cours with their sights set firmly on the podium. Van der Mark travels to France off the back of a successful weekend last time out in Portimo, where the 25-year-old added two more podium finishes to his tally with third place in Race 1 and second place in Race 2. Lowes, who endured two challenging races in Portugal, is keen to bounce back with two good results this weekend in Magny-Cours, where he finished on the podium twelve months ago.
