Checa to make MotoGP comeback?

THE rumour-mill has gone into overdrive this morning with the news that Carlos Checa is in serious talks with Ducati about a return to the MotoGP world.

Currently with the Ten Kate Honda team, Checa has been left somewhat out in the cold after the news that the two-man Honda line up in WSB 2010 would consist of Jonathan Rea and Max Neukirchner.

Earlier in the season there were lots of rumours flying around that Checa was trying to land a big-money AMA deal for next season, but the recent virtual collapse of the AMA championship has put paid to that idea.

According to Spanish sources, Checa has held extensive talks with Ducati already and a deal is virtually signed off and completed.

Will he be a title contender? No, of course he won't. So we're wondering why Toseland didn't get the ride...
