Carlos Checa heads into this weekend’s 13th World Superbike round at Nurburgring with a pretty impressive 62 points over reigning World Champion Max Biaggi and he’ll be looking to gobble up even more of those 200 points that remain.
During the month long break Carlos has kept himself active, participating in a triathlon in Spain and spending time in Italy, where he had the opportunity to climb to the Castore peak of the Monte Rosa mountain range and take in spectacular views from 4220m,“Having taken this important result for Ducati at Silverstone, and seeing as I am a mountain climbing enthusiast, some of my friends invited me to join them at Monte Rosa.
One of the things I really wanted to do was take Ducati’s 300 victory flag to the highest point in Italy.
So we took it up to the Castore peak, at 4220m.
A great day and a wonderful experience at high altitude! I enjoyed the holidays, carrying out various activities, training but having fun at the same time.
I now feel ready to face the next challenge: Nurburgring.
