Why oh why have they kept Checa, i would put Andrew Pitts riding abilities on a superbike above Checa's and i think he'd show a bit more determination as well.

Checa was in a prime position to fight for the championship after his double win in America and Bayliss' dnf's but then followed that up with the most lacklusture riding of his career. He blew his chance and i don't see why he should get another ride with a top team like Ten Kate.

That is one helluva team. Rea has been brilliant this year, as he was previously in BSB. I have a feeling the title next year could be a battle between Kiyo and Rea, Checa being too inconsistent.

You are dead right 190mph..............Checa is YEARS past his sell-by date! He must be being paid peanuts to be still riding...............gawd knows how much longer he will be dawdling around in world-class racing, keeping out younger and faster talent...........

Checa is in the team because HRC wanted him there, Kiyo for the title, and rea for podiums maybe even a win.

I agree with T-Bone's comments 100%. Checa is very fast but not motivated enough to graft for a title at tracks he's not quick at. Kiyo is top quality and if he keeps the crashes down he just get very close to the title

Checa is also Spanish remember. In bike racing Spanish riders bring in money.

Another reason might be that his results this year and last year are better than Pitt acheived in his best year in WSB agianst a weaker field - think carefully before you post disagree - if you check you might find this post is factual.
