David Checa started his international career in the European Supersport championship. After a year as a test rider for Pirelli and Ducati, he contended three 250 world grand prix seasons, with a sixth place at Valencia in 2002 as best result. Then, David Checa joined the GMT 94 and became one of the best Endurance riders. He claimed several wins in 24 hours races and claimed the 2004 class world title. In 2005, in addition to his Endurance (programme), he took part in three World Superbike rounds and replaced Toni Elias on the Tech 3's M1 for three races. World Supersport (2006, 2007) and Superbike (2008,2009) permanent rider, David Checa earned two 6th places in 2007. The 2009 season was particularly frustrating with two DNF in Endurance and an uncompetitive machinery in the (très relevé) Superbike series.
