Champion Checa hails “best day of life”
Carlos Checa claimed that Sunday was “the best day of his life” after he claimed the World Superbike championship at Magny-Cours.
The Spanish rider needed just three points to claim his first WSB championship, secured the title in style with a double victory in France, beating Marco Melandri to the flag on both occasions.
And the 38-year-old, who has won 14 out of 24 races this season, admitted that Sunday was the “perfect” day for him, even if he found it hard to compose himself over the weekend.
“Today has been a perfect day, the best day of my career and probably the best day of my life,” he claimed.
“I thank everyone, every person that has helped me throughout my career, from the beginning up until today, for helping me reach this point. I especially thank Genesio Bevilacqua, my entire team and Ducati of course.
“I am experiencing so many emotions and must admit that it was very difficult to keep my concentration in the final stages of race one. Then, in race two, I tried to race as fast as I could, doing what I like to do best, and was able to win once more. Now we can relax and relish in this unforgettable moment.”
