Is the board being a bit too harsh on Mr Checa? I can understand journalists having a go - that's what it takes to sell mags these days, but I don't think this forum do it.

I don't really follow racing so I have no idea whether he is really as bad as people seem to make him out. However, it strikes me that even the worst rider in the championship is going to have more riding talent than the rest of us put together. I also admire anyone that can get the bottle up to thrash a bike a couple of hours after nearly killing themselves.

It seems some of the ribbing stems from him not having raced for Ducati all of his life. I wonder what the board comments will be if he starts winning races?

I really can't see the point of being negative about someone I've never met. If you have met him and thought he was an @rse then post away, otherwise can everyone else reserve judgement?

The DSC does appear to carry privileged status with Ducati and it would be a shame if unbiased members didn't get to go to an event because Mr Checa thinks the DSC hates him...

This is my first 'controversial' posting. Please be gentle.....
