We caught up with Althea Racing's General Manager Genesio Bevilacqua (who a few days ago became father, so congratulations from WorldSBK.com to Genesio, his wife Maya and new-born Isabella are in order), for a chat about Checa and the season so far.

"At the start of the season I was counting a lot on Carlos and the results are proving me to be right. He is a ‘complete' rider, one who still has a desire to prove something and the same desire to race at the top. He's riding really well and we, as a team, are learning a lot from him and his way of working. As for Byrne, before the year is out I hope to see him race up at the front where he deserves to be and for this reason we are trying to meet him half-way from a technical point of view. Already at Miller we could see the first results because in America he went really well".

For the second half of the season the aims are clear for the Italian team manager: Bevilacqua is aiming high and is looking beyond 2010. "I can't deny that we'd like to get some more wins between Misano and the final round at Magny-Cours. We want to demonstrate to everyone, even though there is no real need to do so, that the win at Phillip Island, the podiums at Valencia and Kyalami and the two races at Miller were not isolated cases but the basis for a rosy future".
