It is with great interest that I watch the HANNspree Ten Kate Honda WSB team develop the all-new Honda CBR1000RR. Receiving the bike very late, Ten Kate was the only team to use the machine in the first race of the year, and has already put rider Carlos Checa on the podium at Round 2 in Phillip Island.
It took Troy Bayliss on his Ducati 1200 to nip Checa by one second for the win in Race 2 in Phillip Island. Ten Kate has brought the new CBR1000RR a long way in a very short time.
