Default Spoiler Troy Bayliss fight for championship

Surprised not to already find this news in here. He clinched it with a 3ed place finish in the first race in France. Goes on to 50th career win in 2ed race.

Iv enjoyed watching him race for years. This is his third Championship on three different makes of Ducati. Plus this is his last year. What a way to end a career.

Good for Troy. He almost fucked up coming around that chicane before the start/finish line.

I look forward to a tight battle next year with Haga on the Duc and Spies on the Yami.

WSBK rocked this year. Nobody ran away with the points. Troy's all or nothing racing style almost bit him twice. The good run he had early in the season kept him at the top and brought it home. Those of you that know me know I have been a Bayliss fan for years. I even had a replica Infostrada bike in 04/05 with my 998.

Bayliss kicks ass. Good on ya mate! I knew when he clinched the championship he would turn loose on race 2! Something about those Aussie riders...Corser will have to show up next year on the BMW! Not that he's been a slouch on the R1.

BMW needs a good rider to develop the new bike. Cant wait to see what they can do.
