WSBK News. Carlos Checa decides against pushing for victory at Silverstone as he labels the first race conditions as 'dangerous'.

Carlos Checa says he can be satisfied with a fifth and sixth place finish considering the circumstances after rain spoiled his hopes of victory at Silverstone.

The Spaniard was one of the favourites for the victory around the circuit he won twice at in 2011, but while he was certainly looking in command in the dry as he opened up a three second lead at the half-way point of the opening race, he slipped back when the rain arrived.

Opting to allow the top four to jostle for position ahead of him, Checa was happy enough to reach the finish line given the 'dangerous' conditions.

“The conditions, especially in race one, were dangerous; racing in the wet with slick tyres is obviously no fun for anyway, although it probably makes for exciting races for the spectators,” he said.
