Parkes, a former WSS leading light and championship runner up, has a year of recent Superbike experience behind him and now gets his wish to stay in the Superbike category, and in a revitalised new privateer entry with clear ambitions.
Parkes, who will be 28 on Christmas Eve, has been in the WSB paddock in one form or another since way back in 2001. His best Superbike race finish so far is fifth, but in World Supersport, where he was more often riding factory level machinery, Parkes has scored five race wins, He has an impressive 23 podiums in total in WSS, a fantastic ratio from 67 race starts.
