WSBK France (SPOILER)

[Triple J]

Great couple of races. 

Race 1 wasn't as exciting as 2, but congrats to Bayliss!!  3 titles on 3 different Ducs.  I was nervous for him at the end since his front tire was shagged.

Race 2...WOW! What a finish between Bayliss and Haga.    Great race throughout. Bayliss almost losing it going over the rumble strip was crazy...then his left foot slipping off the peg later in the race!  He is the man for sure!

Haga looks really strong as well. I hope he can do well next year on the 1098. 

I also gotta say the WSBK announcers are great. Their race 1 tire discussion was really interesting...and their race 2 discussion about Haga's electronically controlled forks was also very interesting. Wonder if the electronic forks will be banned as one of them said is the rumor?

I saw race 2.  The back and forth over the last 5 laps was great.  Bayliss rode an amazing race.

Not much interest in WSBK here even considering that this was Troy Bayliss's third title and Ducati's thirteenth rider title and fifteentth manufacturers title.

Hmm, I wondered about that myself. There does seem to be a lot of guys here only interested in bearing Vale's children.

Troy and Ducati rock, I think it's great that a tiny Italian factory routinely spank the Japanese mega 4 in world competition. I hope Ducati have set up Troy Bayliss for life or at the very least paid him a huge bonus!!

WSBK is the best bike racing on the planet,

So, which one of your party was chosen then?

For that mental image, you're out of the will.

Sorry to be late to this party.

All hail the king...

Bayliss is the man.

[LA]

Bayliss is my hero.

Best ever!

A racing GOD.

The man has earned his rest.

I would love to see him get a ride or two on the GP bike though - and beat Stoner and Rossi.

Awesome racing. Just downloaded and watched them today.

The last few laps of the 2 race were absolutely gripping.

I'll be sad next year without the number 2+1 on the grid
