20-year-old Brett McCormick the 2011 Parts Canada Superbike champion has landed a ride with Effenbert–Liberty Racing for their World Superstock team.
The Canadian champion in October rode a BMW S1000RR in World Superstock for the Garnier Alpha Racing team at Magny Cours in France and then at the Portimao round, finishing 13 at Magny Cours and 10th at Portimao and in the post season test a Portimao, the Effenbert Liberty Superbike team had him try out Jakub Smrz’s Ducati 1098R and were duly impressed by his first laps on the bike and signed him up for their new Superstock effort.
McCormick will be riding the debuting Ducati 1199 Panigale, and his first official appearance for the team will be at a Phillip Island for a three day test session.
“It has been my goal and my dream to race in the world championships, and I have to thank the Effenbert–Liberty team for giving me a test in Portimao.
Their team and bike are with the best, and they are serious about winning, so I plan to return their faith in me by putting the team colours at the front! At the test I found the bike to be the best I’ve ever ridden.
And working with the team from both a technical and human standpoint was awesome, so I can’t wait for the season to start!” said the excited Canadian.
