Kawasaki world superbike team prepares for the Nurburgring

Kawasaki World Superbike Racing Team riders Broc Parkes and Makoto Tamada are preparing for the Nurburgring WSBK.
Tamada has been recovering from injury, while Parkes entered the Brands Hatch British Superbike Championship for a little extra riding, scoring three podium finishes with his Ninja ZX-10R.
While both riders are familiar with the circuit, they will be hoping for better weather than last year and Parkes will be looking to build on the podium he previously won in the Supersport class.

On preparations, Broc Parkes says: “After racing at the British Superbike meeting at Brands Hatch in early August we found some really good things on the bike and came away with some great results, that gave me and the team some confidence in our direction for the last four WSB races.
It will be great to apply the team’s development to the Nürburgring race this weekend.
I really enjoy racing at this circuit and I’ve had some successful results in the past.
I’ve also won a race a few years back on the short circuit for the German Superbike Championship.

Overall, I’m really looking forward to some good results this weekend.
I’m also over the moon at becoming a father this week to my newborn son, young Jesse John Parkes.
” Makoto Tamada: “After another unfortunate crash in Brno I am happy to confirm that after the August break my finger doesn’t hurt at all, and I am ready, 100%, to race this weekend.
The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R performed much better during the Brno race, and I predict that we can finish in the top ten in both races at Nürburgring.
I just can’t wait to be back on the bike again and continue where we left off after some exciting developments from Brno.
