WSB: Zemke visa problems halt Monza start

SUPERFAST AMERICAN superbike rider Jake Zemke will now no longer be replacing Roberto Rolfo on the Hannspree Honda Althea CBR1000RR machine at this weekend's Italian Round of the Superbike World Championship. The AMA star was due to replace hurt Rolfo but got the invite too late for the necessary viza in order to race in Monza.

Because Zemke has to sit on the sidelines, Rolfo's replacement for Sunday will now be Giovanni Bussei, who was given the all-clear to race yesterday afternoon following a medical check after an old arm injury flared up whilst riding a supermoto.
