With 15 days to go for the 8 Hours of Slovakia Ring, the next round of the FIM EWC 2016-2017, Yamaha Viltaïs Experiences looks well-prepared to head into battle. Axel Maurin, Florian Alt and Bastien Mackels surged to victory in the saddle of their R1 #333 in the two races comprising the 12 Hours of Magny-Cours this past weekend.

The win bodes well for the French Superstock team, which currently occupies 3rd place in the provisional standings of the FIM EWC World Cup. At the 8 Hours of Slovakia Ring, the final round of the season for the Superstock class, Yamaha Viltaïs Experiences is aiming to carry off both a race win and the World Cup.
