Ok guys, dont know who got to watch the last round of the SBK last night...but it was Troy Bayliss's last race meeting before retiring....
He took pole, won both races easily, got the fastest lap in both races, and comprehensively :spank: the opposition....not bad for a guy that's 40, and retiring.....was his usual humble self after the race.....
For the record, 152 starts in SBK, 52 wins, 27 pole positions, 3 championships, including 2008, runner up at least once....I dont think Carl Fogerty is the king of SBK anymore.....move over Carl it's Mr Baylisstic which wins hands down as the est ever in SBK...Higher win %, and about a thousand times more gracious.....Now that should get the Carl Fogarty fans steaming!
And before you remind me, that Mr Grumpy (Fogarty) won 4 championships, he did it over a longer carreer in SBK....never did do the GP thing???, and at a time when there were only 2 or 3 good guys racing, and the rest struggled...definitely not like now, with former moto gp factory riders, and moto gp winners in the field.
Anyway, enough gloting, Troy Bayliss, you are a legend!
Oh and dont forget another great Aussie Champ, Troy Corser came second in this years championship, Andrew Pitt won the 2008 World Supersport Championship too!
Aussie Aussie Aussie! Oi! Oi! Oi! Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! Oi! Oi! Oi!
And then there is Mr Stoner....watch out Rossi in 09, he's gonna be stronger!
