Paddock Rumors: Jake Zemke BACK ON THE DUCATI FOR DAYTONA!!!

Paddock Rumors: Jake Zemke BACK ON THE DUCATI FOR DAYTONA!!! | Ductalk | Scoop.it

Here’s what we have so far. Desmo Veloce, located in Phoenix, AZ, is a newly formed performance shop specializing in Ducati performance. It’s owned and operated by longtime AMA Ducati technician Richard Boyd. Richard signed Garrett Willis to ride a Ducati for the 2013 season but last weekend while testing at Chuckwalla, Willis was injured and Desmo Veloce did not have a rider for the Daytona 200. Lucky for Richard, he worked with the 2006 Daytona 200 winner Jake Zemke last year on the Ducshop team and the call was made. Our sources tell us that Zemke who finished 6th last year and 3rd the year before in the 200 has agreed to fill in for Willis and race the Daytona 200. Jake has set pole in the past and you better believe that he’s going to be a contender.

Katie Melua is reportedly engaged to former World Superbike champion James Toseland after dating for less than a year.
Katie Melua is getting married.
The 27-year-old singer is set to wed former World Superbike champion James Toseland - who she has been dating since April 2011 - after he proposed before Christmas, The Sun newspaper reports.
Katie - who was previously in a relationship with Kooks frontman Luke Pritchard - was spotted wearing an engagement ring at Hamburg airport this week.
The 'Closest Thing To Crazy' singer and James, 31, were first set up by Katie's keyboard player Jim Watson last year after he spotted the racing star in the audience of her concert at Sheffield City Hall in Sheffield, North England.
James - who is launching a new career in music after being forced into early retirement following a wrist injury last year - has previously revealed one of the best thing about his new fiancee is that she doesn't care about his success.
He explained: "Katie has been great. She had no interest in me whatsoever because I was a motorcycle racer. She hadn't heard of me. She wouldn't even know what Valentino Rossi looked like.
"It was only because her piano player was such a fan that he kept talking about it on the tour bus after he'd met me. It was nice and a relief for someone so established to be attracted to me because of my personality."
