Championship leader Carlos Checa (Althea Racing) is all set to return to the historic TT circuit of Assen, where round 3 of the World Superbike Championship is taking place this coming weekend.
Ducati’s home track of Imola was the setting for Round 2 of the championship, which took place just over a fortnight ago. Carlos could not have done better in front of what he considers to be his adoptive home crowd, beating off competition, in the form of Sykes on the Kawasaki, to power his Ducati 1198 to a double win, and 50 precious championship points.
Last year at Assen, Carlos celebrated success with a race win and a third place finish so both the rider and team will be hoping for similar results at this particular circuit, well aware that other, trickier tracks for the Ducati are looming.
Carlos Checa: “Imola was a really fantastic event that couldn’t have gone better for me! I’m really happy with how it went, also because those points gained are vital for the championship. Now we must turn our attentions to Assen, where I hope to make two strong races before we head to Monza – that will undoubtedly be more difficult for the Ducati. Last year we did well at the TT circuit, a win and a third place – we’ll be aiming for similar results again this time around.”
