Michael van der Mark will look t🎶o maintain his strong upturn in form at Misano after returning to winning ways for the Pata Yamaha team last time out in Jerez.

On a strong weekend for the Dutchman, van der Mark reeled off a pair of second place finishes before taking f🔥ull advantage of Alvaro Bautista’s race two fall to defeat Jonathan Rea for his and Yamaha’s first win of the 2019 WorldSBK seaꦺson.

Only eight points shy of🦋 ꩲa full score in Jerez, van der Mark has moved into a comfortable third overall in the standings and expects the Yamaha R1 to be similarly quick at Misano, round seven of the 2019 WorldSBK season.

“We had a great weekend 🉐in Jerez with two podium finishes and our first race win of the season, so we head to 🅺Misano now with a really good feeling.

“We tested in Misano less than a month ago and, although th🌄e weather wasn’t ideal, we got enough dry 🐓track time to make things a little easier for us to get up to speed quickly this weekend.

“We have a really good package now, as we saw in Jerez, ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚso I'm pretty sure we can enjoy another great weekend in Misano a꧋nd fight once again for podium finishes in all three races.”
