Starman gets a ride at WSBK PI

[flashpixx]

Bryan Staring will be riding for Pedercini at PI replacing the injured Tati Mercado on the ZX10R superbike good news

Is it really good news? Shouldn't he be aiming for his own championship?

Or does sst1000 not go to the island...

Super Stock doesn't travel much.....Don't believe SStk leaves Europe, they definately don't come to Oz.
Last year Bryan rode PI SBK as a wildcard.

yep, no SSTK outside Europe, in fact i think their season doesn't start until the first Euro round of WSBK (couple of weeks after season opener). So no chance of him missing races.

Bryan Staring to replace Team Pedercini's Leandro Mercado at first WSBK round
Newsflash, 2 February 2012
Team Pedercini rider Leandro “Tati” Mercado will not take part in the 2012 first WSBK round in Phillip Island. He sustained a fracture of the right radius in a crash on his supermoto bike

Wouldn't you take the oppertunity to race in WSBK? It would be madness not to race there, especially on a track he knows so well!

[96]

Oh, I would jump at it.

But not at the cost of my own world level championship.

None the less, that's out of the way, so best of luck to him!!! Hope he scores a top 10 or better, maybe start lining up a full time wsbk seat.

Hopefully it indicates a moving up of the ranks within the team
