And it is curtains for Checa as he heads into retirement. One of the nicest riders in the paddock, liked by all irrespective of nationality. The 2011 WSBK Champion on the Ducati 1098

Congratulations to Tom Sykes and Kawasaki. After missing last year's championship by half a point he's finally on top of the world. Wsbk pole man is now the new Champion.

Proud to be a Kawasaki owner.

Melandri already started testing the RSV4
