Stiggy Racing Honda has confirmed that Jake Zemke will replace injured John Hopkins for the Monza round of the WSBK Championship.
Zemke at the present rides for the Erion Honda in 2009 Pro Daytona SportBike class.
Jake Zemke:” I am extremely excited to race for the Stiggy Racing Honda team this weekend.
They have a first rate team and have had some excellent results.
I would like to wish Hopper a quick recovery and thank him and the team for the opportunity to make my first World Superbike start.
I also have to thank my current team, Erion Honda and my sponsors for their support.
The WSBK Championship is the most competitive championship there is, and making my start in the series is the next step in my career.
I have been succesful racing on America, but am really looking forward to joining the World Superbike paddock.
The field is very fast and deep.
The Monza track has a deep history of racing, and I know how passionate the Italian people are about racing.
I know the odds will be against us, learning a new bike, new track, new tires, but I will give it my all at Monza for the Stiggy Racing Honda team.
