Interesting races, particularly #2. So Checa ran a soft rear in the 2nd race - do we know for sure that he ran a hard in race 1? If he did, that was a really bold decision to go to the soft for the next race.

Melandri's a wild man. Way to make friends and influence people  Grin

Really impressive runs by Rea, especially considering his injuries. And I don't think he mentioned his wrists  waytogo

Now on to Monza. Bet Max won't have any complaints about tires there.

What a great finish to race 2.  With the speed of Aprilia, I thought Max as going to pull away.  Great move by Checa to reclaim the lead!

Although I don't follow WSB that closely, it seems that Checa had a really good race plan wrt making that last strategic pass.  He took Biaggi at a difficult point on the track, but where he could effectively get some distance due to the (non-factory) Duc's better tires/handling and prevent Biaggi from getting close enough on the straights, where Max's bike would be faster, to reclaim the lead....

BTW - what happened to the "A-style" posters and billboards?  Evil

Not likely, he spanked Checa in Race 1. (21sec)

The eurosport guys said it was injury.

Didn't they force them to use the normal belts/chain and do away with the trick valve "kit?"

Checa is riding more consistently.

The Duc was fast last year as well. Checa was flat out spanking everyone in both races at Miller last year...until his bike quit on him with electrical gremlins. He had a huge gap on Biaggi in both races prior to his problems. The factory team was slow due to the riders.
