Well it looks like Checa is off to a fine start, heading the entire field after FP1

I can't wait for Sunday! All Checa needs is 3 points from either race to be crowned 2011 WSBK world champ

1. Carlos Checa ESP Althea Ducati 1098R 1min 39.013s
2. Tom Sykes GBR Kawasaki Racing ZX-10R 1min 39.182s
3. Troy Corser AUS BMW Motorrad S1000RR 1min 39.241s
4. Leon Haslam GBR BMW Motorrad S1000RR 1min 39.252s
5. Jakub Smrz CZE Effenbert Liberty Ducati 1098R 1min 39.343s
6. Michel Fabrizio ITA Alstare Suzuki GSX-R1000 1min 39.587s
7. Eugene Laverty IRL Yamaha WSBK YZF R1 1min 39.699s
8. Noriyuki Haga JPN PATA Aprilia RSV-4 1min 39.704s

13. Leon Camier GBR Aprilia Alitalia Racing RSV-4 1min 40.092s
14. Maxime Berger FRA Supersonic Ducati 1098R 1min 40.181s
15. Marco Melandri ITA Yamaha WSBK YZF R1 1min 40.339s
16. Javier Fores ESP BMW Italia S1000RR 1min 40.370s
17. Mark Aitchison AUS Pedercini Kawasaki ZX-10R 1min 40.599s
18. Roberto Rolfo ITA Pedercini Kawasaki ZX-10R 1min 40.726s
19. Ruben Xaus ESP Castrol Honda CBR1000RR No Time

ps, anyone as impressed as I am by Sykes' late season form? His job being on the line must have really lit a fire under his ass haha... Either that or that Kawi is finally coming together nicely.

in honor of a Matt P answer to a question I asked on Haga....

I noticed, but on the other hand, I dont give two craps about how Skyes is doing. Everytime I see that stupid green Kawasaki, I remember Skyes not having the same great results like Spies did on the 09 R1!

Actually all he needs is for Marco not to win the race 1 and it's all over. Form the way Marco been riding so far this weekend Carlos does not even have to start the race, he can sit back in the paddock and pop the bubbly. I'm sure he is not going to do that and we will see an awesome race!!
