"I'm getting back to peak fitness following my accident at
Donington earlier this season and I'm getting to the point where I wanted to be originally. I really like the team and am positive I can do a good job for them next year. Foret is a strong team mate to have and it'll be good to have two of us in the team who can push the bike's development even further," he concluded.
Tommy Hill is reunited with Parkes for this weekend; his second race partnering the Australian in the Yamaha World Supersport Team. Hill's first appearance with the team was last month at his home track in the UK where he brought the bike home in a credible fifth position. Hill has been drafted in from the Yamaha Virgin Media Optima Loans British Superbike Team for this weekend's race following a good test session with the team last week at Magny-Cours.
"I've never been to the Lausitz circuit before so it's not going to be easy this weekend. I need to get to know the track before I can start to focus on my times but I learnt the Magny-Cours circuit quite quickly last week and the team say that circuit is harder than this one so I'm hopeful of being able to put in some good times by the second practice session," Hill said.
"I'm looking forward to working with the team again - they are so professional and good to work with. I'm also keen to get back on the R6 again. I want to be on the podium this weekend and right now I don't see why I shouldn't be," he concluded.
