Carlos Checa to replace Mika Kallio in Pramac for final two races?

After being the 2009 rookie of the year Mika Kallio has been having a tough follow-up year with Pramac Racing and currently lies last in the standings.
The Finn is still battling shoulder pain, has had trouble gelling with the 2010 Desmosedici and rumors say he’s also been having personal problems with his former manager and running constantly at the back of the field could see Kallio ousted from the team after next weekend’s last fly away round at Phillip Island.

Althea Ducati rider Carlos Checa, who finished third in the 2010 WSBK championship has been asked to replace Kallio for the final two races at Estoril and Valencia, pending the results of a private two day test with Ducati GP10 that takes place tomorrow and Wednesday at the Mugello race track.
