2010 Imola WSBK QP1 Result - Checa Retains Control, Rea And Haslam Challenge

Althea Ducati's Carlos Checa continues to head the World Superbike field at Imola, taking provisional pole with a lap eight tenths of a second under the race lap record held by Noriyuki Haga. While Checa led a bevy of Ducatis during FP1, this afternoon the Spaniard found a couple four-cylinder interlopers on his tail, Hannspree Ten Kate Honda's Johnny Rea taking 2nd spot ahead of Alstare Suzuki's Leon Haslam. The Ducati Armada followed the Brits, with the Xerox Ducatis of Noriyuki Haga and Michel Fabrizio ending ahead of Shane Byrne.

Leon Haslam's dramatic improvement leaves championship leader Max Biaggi with a lot of work to do: While Haslam slashed 1.3 seconds off his earlier time, Biaggi could only get another two tenths out of his Alitalia Aprilia, leaving the Italian in lowly 14th position. Final qualifying positions will only be settled during Saturday afternoon's Superpole session, but it will be busy in the Aprilia garage tonight.

2010 Imola WSBK FP1 Result - The Althea Ducatis Take Charge

The Althea Ducati combination Carlos Checa and Shane Byrne kicked off the Imola World Superbike round by controlling the top of the timesheets for most of the first session of free practice for the World Superbike class. Only a brief interruption by Kawasaki's Tom Sykes kept Checa and Byrne from dominating. Xerox Ducati's Michel Fabrizio made it a Ducati 1-2-3, while Ten Kate's Johnny Rea put his Hannspree Honda into 4th. The first blow in the title race was struck by Max Biaggi, who went 0.13 seconds faster than the only man who can stop him from winning his first WSBK crown, Leon Haslam. But with Biaggi in 9th and Haslam in 11th, both the Aprilia and Suzuki man have plenty of work to do.
