Leon Camier leads the Aragon tests and Carlos Checa appears with the Ducati 1199 Panigale

Leon camier The 2013 work schedule begins in the same way that 2012 ended, giving wax. The British champion has been the fastest in the tests that are being held at the Motorland Aragón circuit, where the presence of BMW is missed. Although the time is not the best for riding a motorcycle in search of the best times, Fixi Suzuki's has surpassed by seven tenths the best lap given in the race by Marco Melandri this season, but there is still a long way to go to reach 1'56 By Tom Sykes. There, it has also made its appearance Carlos Checa aboard the Ducati 1199 Panigale RS.

Although there is no official confirmation, we have been told that Carlos Checa, just turned 40, will be with Ducati next season, except for great disappointment with his new mount. Speaking to Solomoto Carlos has said that although it is a machine with potential, it is a totally new project so it is impossible to know if they will be competitive or not. There is a lot of room for improvement for Borgo Panigale's latest superbike. They have already reached the power of the 1098R, but their delivery remains to be improved.

We will continue to monitor the evolution of the times of each rider and machine, waiting for Carlos to sign with Ducati and the continuation of the great work of Fixi Suzuki, a team that has signed a great first season in the category.
