Cameron Beaubier will join Brit Kev Coughlin to fill in for injured Team Yamaha MGM riders Max Neukirchner and Damian Cudlin for the upcoming IDM German Superbike Championship round on August 2 at Schleizer Dreieck, Germany. British Superbike Championship contender Josh Brookes will fill in at the following round in Assen on August 9, as Beaubier will be back racing in the MotoAmerica AMA/FIM NA Road Racing Championship at the Red Bull Indy Grand Prix.
Coghlan has enjoyed a promising season in the Superstock 1000 Cup on the YZF-R1M, and currently holds fifth place with two races remaining after the summer break. Beaubier has proved the YZF-R1 is almost untouchable in the MotoAmerica Series, his only real challenge coming from his four-time and defending AMA Superbike Champion, teammate Josh Hayes. Beaubier and Hayes are currently tied for the lead of the Championship, 81 points clear of their closest rival. Josh Brookes comes fresh from a double victory last weekend in BSB, the Australian currently sits in second place in the standings, just five points from the leader.
