Phillip Island WSB: Checa takes the win on the last lap

Althea Ducati rider Carlos Checa won the second World Superbike race at Phillip Island after a last-lap pass on race 1 winner Leon Haslam. Alstare Suzuki rider Haslam finished just 0.3 secs behind Checa in the second close finish of the day.  Third place went to Ducati Xerox rider Michel Fabrizio and fourth was claimed by Alstare Suzuki rider Sylvain Guintoli.

wish?

Wish I could have seen it, both races sound fantastic,perhaps one of the free to air channels will see sense and show it live before the season ends? Good to see Suzuki back at the front,I'm glad Rons little boy has gelled with the bike and can wring it's neck.More please!

Just had a look at the WSBK site and they have given the photo of the finish, now that was close for the first race now that was close - about half a wheel in it!!!!!! well even less than half a wheel.

haga out of time

In the arc that is a motorcycle racers career, i think haga has apexed.  Dont get me wrong i was rooting for him all last year, but i think losing to ben at the last round last year has finally broken him.  The window has closed and the young guns are no longer green they are soldiers now and want to win. As someone said  the other day  haga is the mamola of superbikes.  It is a shame as he deserves a title, but last year was his last chance in my mind.  I think this year ducati will be backing fabrizio more than haga, at least unofficially.  I wonder if tardozzi left because he knew haga didnt have that last bit required of a champion.  It looks like this year will be a battle between haslam and fabrizio with a few others thrown in.  Haga will still win races this year but thats it. You only get so many kicks at the can before bad luck, injury, or mental crumbling kicks in,and now haga is dealing with all three.  Now i know there are lots of haga fans out there(myself included) so comments are most welcome as long as they are intelligent and not hate based-you know who you are.  I think as fans we are going to be treated to a great wsbk season and it has started off with a bang. Bring on racing season!!

leecho and wolfit

You really are an unpleasant pair of crapforbrains , do you really think that anyone is going to be in the slightest bit interested in your ill-informed, predictable whining, go and join a football forum and come back when you grow up.

Tardozzi, did he jump or was he pushed, as Fabrizio,s manager as well as team manager, there would seem to  have been a conflict of interest as far as Haga winning the title last year. It certainly looked like they favoured fabrizio towards the end of the year, and fabrizio definately favoured himself !

great racing

and a master-class by Checa on how to take advantage of the Ducati corner speed and stability to defeat the screaming and much quicker down the straights factory Suzuki.

Very impressed by Camiers pace too, really thought he would struggle but was able to match the leaders times, he just needs to cut the mistakes now

as for R1s well i think its clear now Spies is a great rider while the 2 Brits are just good...
