Morais subs for Kawasaki team

From PBM Kawasaki

With less than a week to go before their guest appearance in the MCE Insurance British Superbike Championship, former double British Superbike Champions and current World Superbike Championship team, Paul Bird Motorsport will have both a new sponsor as well as a replacement rider at the meeting at Brands Hatch on August 7-9.

Running the official factory Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10Rs, the www.supercasino.com, Vent-Axia and Kick Energy-backed team will field South African Sheridan Morais (pictured) alongside Australian ace Broc Parkes due to former MotoGP and WSB race winner Makoto Tamada being ruled out through injury following his crash at Brno last week.

The 24-year-old Morais deputized for Tamada at the Kyalami round and scored solid points in both races and in addition knows his way around Brands given he scored a second place finish in last year's FIM Superstock 1000 Championship race there, so is confident of further success.

In addition, the team will be hoping to celebrate a new sponsorship deal in style with leading clothing brand Henleys.

Team owner Paul Bird commented: "We are delighted to welcome Henleys to our portfolio of distinguished partners and they are another recognised brand that adds vitality to our team. We feel their products reflect in what we are doing and look forward to a successful association, starting this week at Brands Hatch."
