WSBK Phillip Island rider quotes
To wrap up this Sunday’s WSBK round one at Phillip Island we have a bunch of rider quotes for you to go through and find out what your favourite rider finished in the double header and his personal comment regarding his performance.
Carlos Checa (Race 1 - 1st, Race 2 – 1st)
“The sessions went extremely well and we knew we had good rhythm but you never know what might happen in the raecs, especially if you find a wet track on Sunday morning, as we did today. My strategy was to get ahead and keep pace as I knew my pace was stronger than that of my rivals. In Race 1, once past Laverty, I was able to find a good rhythm. It was a really great race. Every so often you have a weekend like that and we were lucky to be able to start the season in such a fantastic way. Race 2 was very similar, I managed the situation and we did it! A really great weekend in which we dominated from start to finish. We were also lucky with the weather; we couldn’t have asked for a better start. I want to thank Ducati and the team for believing in me. Next we head to Donington where we’ll continue to give 100%.”
