To mark this renewal, riders Toprak Razgatlıoğlu and 2021-newcomer Andrea Locatelli, alongside Yamaha Motor Europe Road Racing Manager Andrea Dosoli visited the Pata factory in Castiglione delle Stiviere, Lombardy, having lunch with Pata owner Remo Gobbi, as well as a tour of their brand-new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility.
Founded in 1981, Italian artisan brand Pata Snack is one of the biggest snack and crisp companies nationally. With Gobbi, Pata Snack has been an important supporter in WorldSBK for several seasons, and will continue that in 2021 as the title sponsor of the Yamaha WorldSBK Official Team.
Pata’s involvement in motorcycle racing has also extended to supporting young rider talent in the world championships, and they have worked with over 20 riders over the last decade, including the likes of Noriyuki Haga and Valentino Rossi.
