Shane Byrne heads a list of six wild card riders for this weekend's World Superbike races at Brands Hatch.
British Superbike Championship runaway leader Byrne, who rides for MonsterMob Ducati, will take on the likes of Neil Hodgson and James Toseland.

The Renegade Ducati pair of Michael Rutter and Leon Haslam will line up alongside Firepower Ducati's Dean Ellison and the Rizla Suzuki duo of Yukio Kagayama and John Reynolds.

In the World Supersport Championship, British wild cards Jamie Robinson and Tom Sykes will ride a JR Yamaha and a Northpoint Yamaha respectively.

Come on Shakey!

Shame Rat boy isn't in supersport. He did well last year.

i think that Shakey and JR might cause a bit of an upset to the world boys, - JR has won there before in his RedBull days, - if he gets the big Suzuki setup right he could be out for a win, and Shakey is on a local circuit for local people.

Rattler I don't think Barros said it quite like that, be great if Emmett is there on his ETI Ducati, just shows how a top rider can change a teams fortunes.

Hog, I think the team only have 2 bikes, - Emmett has agreed that he will race without a spare so Hizzy can have his spare, - something like that, caught the end of an interview with Emmet
