It’s the Tires !

As we all know, Carlos Checa has been experimenting with the Ducati GP12 and already has some comments.

Checa claims that the problem with the bike isn’t the chassis as Ducati already experimented with four difference chassises and the results were almost the same ! The problem according to Checa is with tires, Checa added ” When you do not know where the limit of the tire is very hard to develop a motorcycle”

I guess we’ll just have to wait and see the results using different tires.

Adding Salt To The Wound !

After the great results Checa achieved during this season, Ducati is planing to have him take part in the development of the GP12 hopping he can ad something the Dr couldn’t !

How ironic

The news of Ducati dropping out of the 2011 super bike is old news, and the news of  Carlos Checa clamming the 2011 super bike championship on a factory machine is also old news.

But the irony is that Carlos Checa did it on the first season after Ducati decided to drop out of the super bike -Ducati participated with a factory team in every edition of the World Superbike Championship since it began in 1988- and with 2 more races to go.

Congratulations to Checa, on a season full of race wins, podiums, fastest laps and pole positions…he deserved every point of it.

Checa in control

Carlos Checa on the Althea Racing Ducati  sealed a double win at Phillip Island yesterday, no one was able to come close to Checa and he finished a couple of seconds ahead of Biaggi, it was a fast race and racers were like being shot of slingshot going in and out of the curves.

Haslem on the BMW finished third on race 1, a result that promises a good season for BMW.

Tonight at 4am -Kuwait local time- the first round  of the 2011 world super bike championship kicks-off at Phillip Island.

Carlos Checa set the quickest lap ever recorded around Phillip Island on his Althea Racing Ducati 1098R -1 minute 30.882 seconds-, thus grabbing the first Superpole trophy of the year, Biaggi came second on the Apprila, and Haslam forth on the S1000 RR.

I believe its gonna be an intense race, with the three aggressive boys at the poles.

A threesome for Max

Biaggi won both races today at Misano, he led form the middle in race one up to two thirds of the race when he decided to take the lead…in race two he managed to break away from the rest and was impossible to catch.

Race was fun, it was a fight between the titans, Biaggi 39, Corser 37, and Checa 40.

Corser on the BMW led 17 laps of race one, and gave us a nice show until he got tired.. thats when Biaggi Aprilia and Checa on the Ducati made their move.
