Where's Jake?


This morning's Free Practice at Monza had Michel Fabrizio running fastest on his Xerox Ducati. He repeated his performance during this afternoon's qualifying, leading Sykes by 3/10s, with Haga close behind in third. Spies ran 7th, Biaggi 8th, Byrne in 10th and Haslam in 12th. Jake Zemke was nowhere to be seen on the timesheet. Monza's an oddball track. The specs say it's got five left and 8 right hand corners, but it's really four straights broken up with three chicanes and five corners ... all right handers. When tyres go off, you know what side it's going to be. Gearing will be a big issue and in spite of his mediocre performance today, Ben Spies may do fairly well ... the track bears some resemblance to the adhoc bike tracks in the US . but he'll have his hands full keeping up with Haga, Fabrizio and Sykes. So where's Jake???
