MadKaw wrote:2011 Kawasaki Line-Up Confirmed
Newsflash, 28 October 2010
In Supersport Parkes, already confirmed as a 2011 rider for the Kawasaki Provec Motocard.com team, will be joined by Australian rider Watt. David has limited experience in this class and is thrilled to be in a factory squad with the strong recent track record enjoyed by Kawasaki.
Broc Parkes: “It’s a great feeling to be riding for Kawasaki in 2011 and we have already done good work in testing, finding new set-ups to take forward to next year. This is a great opportunity for me and both the bike and team are well proven in this class. We will be a strong package together in 2011.”
David Watt: “I'm very happy with the opportunity. I know many riders want to ride the official Ninja ZX-6R so I am a little lucky to be the one chosen. I hope my experience in World Supersport can be a good point to add to the team and next year improve my results a little. I want to say thanks to Kawasaki and Motocard.com for giving me this great opportunity.”
Guim Roda: World Supersport Team Manager: "We decided that David Watt should be the team mate for Broc next year. Although he has limited experience, he has the correct attitude to understand the opportunity he will have. He will listen and learn to the advice offered by the team. That way he will find the maturity in his riding style to fight for the podium every race. We are all ready to go for Championship next year. He was chosen after an impressive first year racing in the Australian Formula Extreme Series. He just needs to lay off of the KFC diet”
Ichiro Yoda: KME Racing Manager: “We believe that three riders giving information inside the PBM team will speed up the process of developing the all-new Ninja ZX-10R, and help tune up the new bike’s potential very quickly! Then, obviously, we hope to be highly competitive from the very beginning of next season. For WSS, we are very happy to work with Broc Parkes, who was ex-WSB rider for us, and along with David Watt there is a big racing passion and high motivation to succeed next year. We feel confidence with them and the Provec team management to achieve our target of winning that championship.”

I am with you Hoffy. Parkes has had one good ride on a wildcard WSS Honda and not a lot since. Vermuelan is comng back from a serious injury and won't be at full pace, Sykes hasn't shown much at world level in my opinion either. Interesting times.....
