Goodbye Troy Bayliss

[antonio carroccio]

Another big rider of the little farm from Borgo Panigale has ended his career on the track with a great double in Portugal.

Another Aussie. Like Doohan and now maybe Stoner.

 

Next year we will see Haga on the bike of Troy.

Aprilia has got Biaggi and Nakano.

Xaus goes BMW

That Aprilia V4 sounds wicked- there is a vid clip on the MCN website of it being thrashed around a race track.

 

My money is on Shakey Byrne to win the WSB on the Sterilgarda Ducati.

Nothing important to add but I'll really miss the guy. Bayliss never, ever gave less then 100%. Some times he managed to deify limits and gave 110%, the wins and the crashes were equally spectacular on the 110% days. My only regret is he had such a bad day at the US WSB round this year. I drove a long way to be there and seeing Troy one more time was a lot of the motivation. Oh well, I'll never forget his fights with Edwards between 2000 - 2002.

I just watched the Troy Bayliss story movie on Netflix last night. Good show.

One of the all-time greats. Badass aggressive style.

 

My $ is going on Biaggia/Aprilia next year.
