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.

A great shot of Maxime Berger when he lost the rear wheel at Donington Park yesterday, i believe the guys at his garage forgot to tie the nut.

Update: turns out it wan’t a loose nut after all, the wheel broke, watch it in slow motion.

Gizers lead

If you missed yesterday race one at Donington Park, then you missed a great race and it seams this season is going to be a very competitive and interesting season…the fight between the new boys in the block and the old gizers.

So far Checa on the Ducati is still leading the championship with 3 wins in 4 races, on the other hand Biaggi the other gizer was all over the place, i guess he is still angry and can’t get over the fight he had with Milandreri during and after the super pole.

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.

2011 World SBK kicks-off at Phillip Island

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.

From the GSX-R to the RR

Leon Haslam has been officially released from his contract with Alstare Suzuki due to financial problems facing the team.

Deep pocketed BMW seized the opportunity, and Haslem will be taking Ruben Xaus place riding alongside Troy Corser in the BMW Motorrad team for the 2011 season.

I believe this a great move by BMW, as they need a young rider with great stamina and determination like Haslem next to Corser their experienced rider.

Ducati dominates Imola

But Aprilia claims the championship….what an exciting race it was, in race one Ducati claimed the entire podium and in race two Ducati claimed the 1st and 2ed positions.

Checa on the Ducati and Sykes on the Kawasaki gave us a great show, i have never seen a Kawasaki performing that good before….on the other hand Biaggi did not do much in this race as if he was certain of the championship…and a mistake from Haslam gifted the championship to Aprilia.

The final round will take place in France on Oct 3ed. and it will only rearrange the manufacturer standings a bit.
