Aussie former World Superbike star Broc Parkes will stand in for the injured Tom Sykes at this weekend's British Superbike triple header at Brands Hatch, a track where he diced with Leon Camier for the wins in 2009 on a Kawasaki.

Parkes is currently fourth in the World Supersport standings and says he is looking forward to another chance to race at the Kent track especially on a Superbike.

"I am pretty pumped about racing this weekend with the Kawasaki team and it will be great working with all of the crew again. I haven't ridden a Superbike for a while where I have been racing in the World Supersport Championship so I need to adapt again quickly but the Kawasaki has seen some big improvements since I last rode it so I am looking forward to it," said Parkes.

"The depth of field in BSB has definitely increased and it is going to be tougher than before I think; you can see how strong the competition is from what John Hopkins did last weekend as a wildcard at Silverstone. It is a great opportunity for me to race again at Brands Hatch and I need to thank Paul Bird and everyone at Kawasaki."
