SBK | Geico US Round: Yamaha challenges the “Corkscrew”

Three victories in four races, the first double in seven years, and both riders on the top step of the podium: the Pata Yamaha team is enjoying the moment of extraordinary form by focusing on the next championship match scheduled for Laguna Seca, a very suggestive circuit and challenging at the same time.

Ven der Mark and Lowes have never achieved career successes in the United States and obviously want to try to disprove the statistics, strengthened by the affirmations of Brno and Donington Park.
Beyond the victories, this year the Yamaha riders have impressed with the consistency of their performances: Lowes finished every race in the points, even when he didn't reach the podium, while Van der Mark thanks to his second place in Race2 in Brno is climbed to third place in the general classification, just 9 points behind Chaz Davies (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati), second.

“It's a fantastic circuit and a wonderful place to race. The famous Corkscrew is hilarious...television doesn't do it justice! In general, it's a tricky circuit and it's difficult to get a good setup, but lately we've been working better and better and this encourages me to get there as soon as possible and keep working!” - He said alex lowes.

“Last year the result wasn't exciting, but this year the bike has improved a lot, as we could see in the last two rounds. So I am very confident that we can fight for the podium again” – he said Michael Van der Mark.
