The podium in Race 2 was filled out by the same three riders, but the order was reversed with Carlos Checa taking the win ahead of Biaggi in second and Rea in third.
After three rounds, Checa has the points lead. For additional details, results and points visit the official WSB site.
Sounds like some close racing. How has the season been so far? I’ve heard that the past couple of years it’s been incredible. I’m a snob, I just follow MotoGP. But considering there are so many past GP stars racing I should check it out again. I heard Biaggi ripped it up on that beautiful RSV4 last year. I need to ride one of those…
Bummer that Melandri had to lay ‘er down.
