Carlos Checa powered to a sensational double win in the sixth round of the HANNspree FIM Superbike World Championship at the Miller Motorsports Park circuit in the USA. The race, watched by 51,000 spectators, marked World Superbike's return to the United States for the first time since 2004.
Hannspree Ten Kate Honda's Spanish rider scored the first double win of his career and set fastest lap in both races to add to his Superpole win yesterday, and in so doing gave Honda their 100th victory in the Superbike World Championship. With today's wins, Checa has reduced the gap to leader Troy Bayliss (Ducati Xerox) to 28 points after the Australian left the USA with zero on his scorecard, the result of a crash and a technical problem in the two races.
Race 1 : The first race was reduced by one lap after a problem for Fabrizio on the grid and a subsequent restart. Rookie Checa took his first SBK win after starting from pole, moving into the lead on lap 4 and having an untroubled run until the flag. Second place went to an on-form Troy Corser (Yamaha Motor Italia WSB), who had not finished on the podium since Valencia, while Michel Fabrizio (Ducati Xerox) powered his way up to third after concluding the opening lap in fourteenth place. The Italian passed Max Neukirchner (Alstare Suzuki) three laps from the end. Fifth place went to Fonsi Nieto (Suzuki Alstare) ahead of the surprising Jakub Smrz (Guandalini Ducati) and Karl Muggeridge (DF Racing Honda). Max Biaggi (Sterilgarda Go Eleven Ducati) could only finish ninth. The Italian, third at the end of the opening lap, went off the track after a contact with Haga and lost time. Championship leader Troy Bayliss (Ducati Xerox) had a nasty crash on lap 5 at the final turn while battling for second, and so did Noriyuki Haga (Yamaha Motor Italia WSB), who was racing with a broken right collarbone.
Carlos Checa: "This is a fantastic moment, we've been looking for it for so long. It was not easy because when I went out with the first bike, there was some problem then I changed to the other bike, which worked well, and I'm completely satisfied. I've felt quite comfortable with this track all weekend, the bike and the tyres have worked well, but we've improved overall and that helped me to win this race."
Troy Corser: "It got pretty tight at the start because all of us went into the first corner a bit too fast. I ended up hitting Carlos in turn 2 and nearly went down and lost ground at the beginning of the race. I knew I had the pace so just picked my way through then with five laps to go, pushed really hard and secured second place."
Michel Fabrizio: "I'm very happy with the podium, it was a pity about my start, and I had a few problems with the gear shifter in the early stages but the team worked well all weekend and in the end it was an excellent result for me."
Race 2 - Once in the lead on lap 9, Checa cruised to his second win of the day, and his first double victory. Neukirchner led the early laps but once passed by Carlos, he settled for second, consolidating his third place in the championship. The final podium place went to Fabrizio, who again had a poor start, twelfth at the end of lap 1, but the Ducati Xerox rider was the quickest man on the track in the final stages. Biaggi had a good run to fourth after holding on to third for much of the race, the Italian finishing ahead of Yukio Kagayama (Suzuki Alstare) and a heroic Haga, who will undergo a collarbone operation tomorrow to be fit for Nurburgring in two weeks time. Ninth place went to Regis Laconi (PSG-1 Corse), the first Kawasaki to the flag. Bayliss was out of the points in race 2 after returning to the pits to fix a loose gear shifter, while Corser was again heading for the podium in third but he crashed out on lap 17.
Carlos Checa:
"Well, I didn't have to wait ten years for another win, it was just two hours! After the first one we had to concentrate on the second, but now I'm free and can celebrate. For sure it's a special day today, but after all the tough work we did until now, the two victories came and this is one of the happiest days for me in this moment. For sure I was less laps alone in the second race but in the end it was the same feeling, two victories in America is fantastic."
Max Neukirchner:
"I worked really hard, in the first race we had some problems in the corners and for entry it was not possible to go in the corners, we changed something on the front forks and in the second race things were much better. I'm really happy that the next round is in front of my home crowd in Germany, there'll be a lot of fans coming and we're going to have some fun there!"
Michel Fabrizio:
"Again it's a great result but this time I'm a little bit disappointed because I wanted to go one better and give some bother to Carlos seeing as he ran two lonely races out there. I got another bad start so as well as having to learn Superpole, I'm going to have to work more on my starts!"
