World Superbike team Echo CRS has decided to replace injured Broc Parkes for the opening round of the Championship at Phillip Island with Josh Brookes.
Brookes who currently rides for British Superbike team HM Plant Honda has already been given the okay from Honda, could also take part in the upcoming WSBK official tests that are scheduled this weekend, always at the Island.
If Parkes doesn’t regain full fitness in time for the second round at Portimao, team manager Sandro di Stefano could ask Brookes to take part in the Portugal race, as the British Superbike Championship kicks off only at the beginning of April at Brands Hatch.
