The lastest rumors have Sheridan Morais replacing injured Broc Parkes in the Echo CRS team in the Portimao race and probably also for the third round at Valencia.
Parkes who fractured his right tibia during a pre-season training incident before the Phillip Island round could be back in time for Assen.
“Shez Show” Morais, a South African Superbike and Supersport champion who is currently racing an Aprilia in the South African Superbike championship has also raced in World Superbikes last year alongside replacing the injured Makoto Tamada on the Kawasaki in last year’s Kyalami and Magny-Cours rounds and a Supersport round at Brno.
