Australian Brendan Roberts took a stunning win at round four of the Superstock 1000 FIM Cup at Nürbergring, Germany. Roberts on the Ducati 1098R gained the full hat-trick over the weekend with Pole Position, fastest lap/new lap record, (with it being a new circuit) and also the race win, his second of the season. This places the youngster in second place in the overall Championship standings. Roberts riding for the Ducati Xerox Junior Team looked extremely strong throughout the weekend at the 5.1-km circuit. After a number of changes were made to the circuit he was eager to make an impression and did just that throughout the weekend. A strong start from the Australian saw him sitting in second place into the tight first corner and he was led by Davide Giugliano and was being hunted down by Championship leader Xavier Simeon. The trio were dicing with each other throughout the 11-lap race were swapping positions at various stages through the race.
