Experienced Australian rider Broc Parkes will fill in for the recovering Jonas Folger at Monster Yamaha Tech 3 this weekend at Phillip Island. Folger returned to his native Germany before the Japanese Grand Prix to undertake blood tests for the suspected Epstein Barr virus. Monster Yamaha Tech 3 would like to welcome Parkes, who has previously competed in MotoGP™ in 2014 and who has achieved success in the World Superbike and Supersport leagues. The Australian ace is also a competitive front-runner in the FIM Endurance World Championship for the Yamaha Austria Racing Team, having picked up four podiums in fifteen races.
