One year after the presentation of its Superbike Team, Effenbert-Liberty Racing has now snapped up Canadian rider Brett McCormick, who will be part of the Czech outfit's new team competing in the 2012 Superstock 1000 FIM Cup.
The talented 20-year old, coming from a season he dominated and in which he was crowned 2011 Canadian Superbike Champion, has already raced in the last two rounds of the 2011 FIM Cup in France and Portugal on a Garnier Racing BMW S1000RR, after which he was given a positive try out by the Czech team on its Ducati 1098 Superbike machine.


Brett McCormick is the second rider signed for the team's young rider support programme that it has committed itself to and will promote, starting from this coming season. McCormick will ride the new Ducati 1199 Panigale model which makes its Superstock debut next year. His first official appearance will be on February 13th, when the whole team will move to Australia for a three-day private test session at Phillip Island.


"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," declared McCormick. "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 colors 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!"
