McCormick Settles In at Magny-Cours

Despite struggling with tires and suspension set up early on this weekend, Canadian Superbike Champion Brett McCormick demonstrated he's more than capable of competing amongst a tough European field in the Superstock 1000 FIM Cup.

Riding for the Garnier Alpha Racing Team at Magny-Cours, France this past weekend aboard a BMW S1000 RR, McCormick came from a 19th place start to finish 13th in a field of 28 riders. McCormick's fastest lap was a time of 1:42:903, less than 2 seconds off the pace of the race winner Danilo Petrucci (1:41:453).

The twenty-year-old McCormick now heads to Portimao, Portugal to compete in the next round of the Superstock 1000 FIM Cup on October 16, 2011.
