Carlos Checa Set To Replace Mika Kallio

Carlos Checa will back to MotoGP to replace Mika Kallio on Pramac Ducati. Checa will race for Pramac Ducati on the last 2 races of 2010 season at Estoril and Valencia. Mika Kallio now sits at the bottom of the MotoGP 2010 leaderboard.

Carlos Checa was posted a video on his official Twitter account. He already testing the official Ducati GP19 machine at Mugello. The Spaniard, who has 220 grand prix starts to his name, would be an ideal replacement for Kallio, bringing necessary experience to a Pramac team that has persevered with two fairly novice riders in 2010. However, Checa already committed to a two-year deal with Althea Ducati in World Superbikes. So we only can see him at last 2 races of this season.

Welcome back Carlos!

Pramac Ducati will not use 2 riders on next 2011 MotoGP. After rumors that Max Neukirchner, superbikes rider will join Pramac next season, now there's a new rumors said that Pramac will only use 1 rider. And the name of the rider is Loris Capirossi. 

Although it was not official, but Capirossi's manager, Carlo Pernat insisting that the contract has been signed. It also underlined by Rizla Suzuki's Francis Batta that next season, Rizla Suzuki only use 1 rider. And the strong candidate for this position is Alvaro Bautista. Alvaro Bautista had a good progress in a view 2010 races.

So if this rumors is correct, we will not see Aleix Espargaro and Mika Kallio again at the MotoGP race next season. Poor performance from Mika Kallio maybe is the main point why this Finland rider moved to Moto2  with Ajo Motorsport next season. Also Aleix Espargaro that joined his brother Pol on Moto2.

In the next season MotoGP, there are only 15 bikes, after Interwetten Honda will pulling out due to budget and sponsorship problem.
