CHECA RETURNS TO THE PODIUM AT PORTIMAO

CHECA RETURNS TO THE PODIUM AT PORTIMAO | Desmopro News | Scoop.it

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.

$25 and you might be riding a Bayliss 1098R!

$25 and you might be riding a Bayliss 1098R! | Desmopro News | Scoop.it

Duc Pond Motorsports and Horsepower Charities are raising money for a few great causes and we like the way they are thinking. The raffle is for a limited edition Bayliss 1098R, a bike so rare that they only produced 500 WORLDWIDE. And for those that aren’t familiar with the Bayliss 1098R, it was a proper tribute for a true champion, not a “sticker kit” bike – the 1098R Bayliss was the real deal with all the good bits and pieces, and it’s beautiful to boot.

25 Years of Racing Entertainment – The ultimate Ducati/SBK fan photo opportunity | Ducati.net | Desmopro News | Scoop.it

This weekend at Monza, Infront Motor Sports, WSB promoter and organizer, will roll out a party celebrating 25 Years of World Superbike: “25 exciting years”

It’s going to be a great weekend with photo opportunity’s at every turn. A large lineup of legendary world champions will be on hand that for us literally lead from the past, with Doug Polen on the 851 to the future, with Troy Bayliss’s development of the 1199 Panigale. For a Ducatisti, a photo of Doug Polen, Giancarlo Fallapa, Carl Fogerty, Troy Bayliss, and Carlos Checa – multi generations of Ducati champions responsible for a huge chunk of Ducati history (and retail sales) has likely never happened before. It’s going to be something really special to see.
