The Hannspree Ten Kate Honda rider heads into round five an impressive second in the standings, with his best chances of a debut WSBK victory having been at dramatic Valencia round, despite better results last time out at Assen.
"After our successful race at the team's home track in Assen we want to continue the progress and will not change too much on the bike ahead of the next race in Monza," said Carlos, second and third at the Dutch event.
"Monza is a new track for me, but judging the layout of the circuit I think it will suit me and I shouldn't take me too long to familiarizes myself with the track.
"The engine performance will be important on a track like Monza and we will specifically have to focus on the chicanes. We'll need to use the full potential of the bike on a fast track like Monza.
"It's always good to race in Italy, I heard they expect many people to visit track this weekend and it will be busy in the paddock, so I hope we can give them some exciting races to watch.
"I hope I can put some pressure on
Troy Bayliss and narrow the gap between us," concluded Checa, who will start the first of the two Italian rounds 70 points from the Australian.
Monza will also be a new circuit for team-mate and reigning double BSB champion
Ryuichi Kiyonari. The Japanese was seventh in race one at Assen, but retired from race two due to a broken clamp on his steering damper.
"Monza is a new track to me, but I will have to familiarise myself with the track quickly and keep my lap times continuously on this fast track," he said. "In Assen I have tried to improve my starts and increase my corner speed, hopefully I can continue doing so in the races and make my way to the front of the field.”
Reigning World Supersport champion
Kenan Sofuoglu wasn't satisfied with his performance at his favourite Assen track and is still finding it hard to bridge the gap to the top ten.
