Meklau to Replace Russell

[NickdaBrick]

HMC Ducati Racing has just learned that Meklau has prior commitments and will not be able to race at Sears Point. In his place will be a temporary worker from Kelley Services.

"I don't know who he is," said Mitch Hansen. "Just some kid with a Ninja. He probably won't win, but if he finishes in the top 10 and sweeps up afterwards, we might hire him on as a test rider when Russel comes back."
