Broc Parkes has a successful test in Spain with Kawasaki last week.

The Provec Motocard.com Kawasaki Supersport World Championship team enjoyed a three-day test at Almeria last week, in preparation for another title assault in 2011.

Australia’s Broc Parkes was joined by new signing David Salom and each found favourable conditions at the circuit in southern Spain for the first two days of the test, before rainy conditions intervened.

“The first two days were good then it rained on the third, but it all went well for us anyway,” Parkes said. “I spent most of my time confirming stuff for next year, and that worked out the way we wanted it to.

“We got through all we wanted to try, and our times were pretty good as well, which we were pleased about.”

Parkes said new teammate Salom was impressive in the test, now looking forward to testing again in the coming weeks.

“David Salom, my new teammate, was testing with me and he looks like a good rider – a quiet achiever,” Parkes continued. “We will be testing again soon at Almeria, late in November.”
