MOTORCYCLING
Carlos Checa extended his lead in the World Superbike
Championship to 19 points after third and first places in the two
races at Donington Park. The Althea Ducati rider fought his way up to
third in race one and then won second time out as reigning champion
Max Biaggi was disqualified from race two. The Alitalia Aprilia rider
was excluded for jumping the start and dropped to fourth in the
overall points standings. Yamaha rider Marco Melandri moved up to
second in the standings after winning the first race and taking a
fighting second in race two.
RALLYING
Sebastien Ogier bounced back from the disappointment
of his mistake in Mexico by claiming his first win of the season on
the Rally of Portugal. The French Citroen driver had missed out on a
win last time out when a crash on the last stage gifted the 25 points
to his team-mate Sebastien Loeb. But Ogier made no such mistake on
Sunday as he comfortably retained the handy lead he held over world
champion Loeb overnight to eventually prevail by 31.8 seconds. |
