Honda LCR rider Carlos Checa blitzed the field with the fastest time in the opening day of free practice for Sunday’s Spanish Grand Prix at Jerez. In preparation for his home race, Checa led a trio of Spaniards, ahead of fellow Honda riders Dani Pedrosa and Toni Elias. Today’s performance was the perfect response to Checa’s disappointing early exit from the opening race in Qatar two weeks ago.
