Champion Bayliss concludes season in style.

Sunday, 8th October 2006

Troy Bayliss put the icing on his second championship season by winning a thrilling final race of the year, at Magny-Cours in France.

The action was fraught on track as Toseland explained, "It was a pretty close race and I saw the front wheel of the Ducati a few times. It was a great round and a great race. Corser has two World titles, Bayliss has two, I've got one - I think it is my turn again next!"

Frankie Chili was emotional on the grid for his final race before retiring, there were a few tears shade as the veteran has decided to hang up his leathers and move into team management with the DFX Treme Honda team.

Meanwhile, rumours have been circulating the paddock regarding Max Biaggi allegedly moving to MotoGP with Kawasaki. Patricia Batta quashed those rumours saying that Biaggi has signed with them at Alstare and it is a done deal.
