Crash.net reports that Josh Hayes - twice AMA FXtreme Champion and also competes with success in AMA Supersport - will ride for Parkalgar Honda in place of the late Craig Jones from Vallelunga onwards:

I've seen him a few times watching AMA over the years; he's good. He won't know the tracks and is realistically at the wrong end of his career for a long-term effort in Europe, but I'd like to wish him luck. :up:
Thumbs up also to Parkalgar for continuing - it'd have been completely understandable if they've have pulled out in light of what's happened, but the grid is better for them being part of it and I'm sure Jonesy would approve of a rider of such pedigree in his place.
