Carlos Checa & Jonathan ReaHannspree Ten Kate Honda's World Superbike and Supersport riders were on a quick exit strategy following the recent championship round at Nurburgring in Germany.


Jonathan Rea, fresh from his second race victory, hooked up with Carlos Checa, double podium finisher at Nurburgring to join Taiwanese computer monitor and TV manufacturer Hannspree at Europe's most important electronics show in Berlin.


The World Superbike duo were joined by World Supersport team-mates, Andrew Pitt and Kenan Sofuoglu, at the IFA Show and were busy on the Hannspree stand signing autographs and a massive 8m x 3m wall covered in large scale racing images.


The four Hannspree Ten Kate Honda riders also spent some time shooting some baskets on the NBA Jam Van outside the exhibition halls. The basketball roadshow is currently on a European tour, which is being sponsored by Hannspree.


"We had a great time with Hannspree," said Jonathan Rea after the show. "It's amazing to see Hannspree in its own environment, away from the racetrack. They make some really cool stuff and I've already given my Christmas list to the guys there!"
