Bayliss takes the double at Brno. He's 79 points ahead with 5 rounds to go.
good races.. biaggi looked good for a while. fabrizio was riding like a man trying to keep his job. some great, aggressive moves. stoner would have tried to stop the race.
bayliss did that usual superhuman, ah, 10 laps to go.. guess i'll go a lot faster than everyone else is capable of now. cya.

Those were both good races. WSBK has been great this year!
Who do you guys think will get Bayliss' seat next year? The announcers were saying Biaggi maybe.

the (multi) million dollar question... i can see an argument for biaggi, maybe. i don't think he quite has it in him for a wsbk championship. nearly, but not quite.

Never seen a WSS race. All I have is Speed and I don't believe they show them. Where do you see them?
Biaggi seems a little like Sete was in GP 2 seasons ago...he's really fast, but can't quite keep it all together long enough to win a race, although he can get close.
Both races rocked, the way Biaggi got pip'd for a spot killed me both times, so great to watch! Seems like July 20th was a good day for good races :)
Did Bayliss say anything about maybe coming back next year?

No, everything I have ever heard him say is that this is his last year. I agree with SOUP though that I will believe it when I see it LOL.
Better to go out on top of the Podium than under it.

he keeps saying "my last time at this track" in post-race interviews. pretty sure he's serious about retiring.
...if it wasn't for the debut of the 1098(R)*, he would've retired last year.
* and the shit ton of money ducati is paying him to race this season.
For me, the most impressive guy on the track was Mr. Corser. Considering how long in the tooth he is, he sure can keep the younger guys honest.
Although the way Troy Bayliss checks out is almost super human.
corser is 2.5 years younger than bayliss.

Man does he ever!
A part of me wishes he'd do one more year back in MotoGP and show that age means only so much. I bet he would fight in the top 5 week in and out. Give him Hayden's seat next year on the GP9. :P
Bayliss is my hero.

He can race in the rain.
I'll never forget the GP race at Donnington.
He crashed like 5 times and still finished in the top 10.
The man is Rossi's father...
and Rossi is.....god? ;D
