Ducati confirms it won't continue with Althea Racing for the 2013 World Superbike season, but insists Carlos Checa will ride the new 1199 Panigale.

'We were able to complete our work programme with some very satisfying results and this is what counts, more than the times' - Carlos Checa

Althea Racing celebrates an 'unforgettable' day as it wins the Superbike and Superstock titles, while Ducati seals its 17th manufacturers' crown.

Checa becomes the first Spaniard to win the World Superbike title as he does what he needs to put the crown out of Marco Melandri's reach.

The Italian manufacturer withdrew its factory involvement at the end of 2010, but is set to return in 2012 with a Superstock machine before returning to Superbikes in 2013.
