CHECA RETURNS TO THE PODIUM AT PORTIMAO

CHECA RETURNS TO THE PODIUM AT PORTIMAO | Desmopro News | Scoop.it
From www.ducati.net - September 23, 2012 6:34 PM

Another complicated race day for the Althea Racing team today at the ‘Autodromo Internacional do Algarve’.

In race 1 Carlos Checa rode a great race to take his first podium since Brno while Davide Giugliano was robbed of his chance to do well after a collision early on in the race forced him to retire. In the second of the day’s races Giugliano was once again unlucky, suffering from presumed tyre problems while Checa was able to bounce back after a technical issue in the early stages to cross the line fifth.
After two hot and sunny days the Superbike paddock awoke to heavy rain and poor visibility on the Portimao track. After only a fifteen minute warm-up, the riders had little time to prepare for racing in these conditions.

It’s been a decade but the formula is still the same. Take one iconic race circuit, in this case Mugello, Misano or Adria, add a group of accomplished racers like Troy Bayliss, Marco Lucchinelli and others, include a passion for Ducati motorcycles and a desire to up your skill level, and stir it all together. The results are both enjoyable and a truly great vacation. Our favorite part? Doesn't matter if you know how to ride at all…

We have attended this school and find it to be quite unlike a standard racing school. Especially if you live somewhere besides Italy the experience of the school coupled with the culture, food and iconic tracks and instructors make this a really great "learning vacation"

Ducati draws holiday bikers to Yas Marina Circuit - The National

The Ducati Riders Experience offers biker tourists the chance to merge hobby with holiday.

As the winter chill and gloom starts to set in to more northerly countries and snow takes hold on the ground, people's thoughts there tend to wander towards vacationing in more sunny climes; of lying on a beach, book in hand, the sun warming their bodies with the soft sound of rolling tides lapping the sand. Ahhh, bliss.
And some have other ideas of vacation bliss; some need a bit more adrenalin. And a lot more noise....

First time the DRE was hosted outside of Europe and the first time the Ducati's rode the whole Yas circuit under the lights.
