Crash Pic - Checa and the WSBK Ducati 1199 Panigale flying over head

Geez . . . this road racing stuff is dangerous . . .

Carlos Checa crashes as Ducati flies over head

Hate to see the Panigale 1199 - oh yeah the rider too - get tossed like that.

Hope things improve for Ducati and Checa for the rest of the year.

Nothing is going to beat the Apes this year.

I'd like to see if Sykes can hang with them when he's fully healthy, but yeah, they looked awfully strong.

I wouldn't count out the BMW's or the Ducati's just yet.

Panigale 1199 - on pole, first time out.
don't forget, bayliss developed that bike and he knows how to ride one.

Check took a dirt nap ...glad he's ok.

you all should not jump to conclusions like that...

:hand:

i think Checa and Sykes will be right up there.
just remember who dominated every superpole last year.

plus tires were an issue in Australia . chunking and all.

winning the championship and winning poles are two different things. Ask Max Biaggi.
