Checa wins in race 2 at Assen

checa assen 2011

And they are four. Checa salt for the fourth time on the top step of the podium, but also sends a clear and strong signal to his opponents. Of the now numerous victories Checa SBK is no doubt that this determination. When, after leading almost the entire race, Checa them wrong before the finish line and Biaggi overtook him of momentum, many were thinking that the race would end with the victory of the Aprilia rider. Instead Carlos did not give up, indeed, was made in Max and then to pass the entrance of the usual variant, the one at Assen was decisive in many races. Max’s reaction there was almost as Carlos was first closed all the doors and then increased his pace and then go to cut the finish line first.

Max said after the race I did everything possible to win what was his first victory of 2011, but has found first in Rea and then Checa two opponents today can not be beaten. Rea did not repeat the capital to provide a race but rises again on the podium in third place.

Excellent race Camier who clocked the fastest lap of the race in 1’36 “476 and that was the author of a furious comeback that earned him fourth place. Haslam finished fifth. A result that does not meet certain of the 2010 World Championship runner hoped that once past the BMW to have the trump card to win the title. Until now, apart from the podium at Phillip Island race one, the results of Leon were below expectations. Also good race Laverty that if he could not aspire to much more discontinuous goals. Do not forget, however, that this is his first year in Superbike.

Good for seventh place Fabrizio, who has struggled through clenched teeth in the group of pursuers without skimping detached and passes to the limit. Haga was gone like a bolt from the front row and led some laps in the lead but then do the race and losing positions until the shrimp to finish eighth. Smrz and Guintoli did the race together, and contrary to what happened in race one this time are not hindered. It remains a mystery how he Smrz from the front row to pass the first step in sixteenth position.

Arm in arm even the two Kawasaki Sykes and Lascorz, eleventh and twelfth, followed by a gritty Berger who collected his first championship points. Xaus is only the fourteenth, while Badovini punticino which collects a moral and above Rolfo and Veneman. Vermeulen are withdrawn to report spills of Corser and especially that of Melandri who always seemed about to attack Rea to reach the third step of the podium, but instead go home with only thirteen points and is recording his first setback . No compromise, but the points that separate him from Checa is now 47 and also Biaggi overtook him in the standings even if for only four points.
