Padgett's Honda Superstock rider Steve Brogan is to stand in for the injured HM Plant man Gen Richards at the upcoming Mallory Park round and Steve Plater will substitute for the Aussie at Brands and Cadwell Park.
Richards underwent successful surgery to pin his broken left femur on Sunday following an horrific crash at Knockhill in qualifying which also took out Relentless Suzuki's Ian Lowry.
"It's not nice that I'm standing in for Glen due to him being injured, but, it's good knowing he's so happy about me being on his bike. Whilst I know there are no great expectations being placed on me, I'd never be happy giving any less than 100% so my plan is to go out there and do the best I can for Glen, myself and the team and hopefully be in the mix with the front runners," said Brogan.
"I'm chuffed to be given this opportunity by the HM Plant Honda team and it's ironically worked out well that there is no Superstock race at Mallory, as it means I can concentrate totally on getting on the pace in the Superbike class."
