WSBK » Bayliss: The final curtain falls

Goodbye to The Man.
It will be a long time before we see his like again.
Thanks for the memories mate!

Even though ive never really liked bayliss he will be missed in the WSBK world
have a very happy and much deserved retirement mate.

gudbay to the last duchero

Ended his career by giving the entire WSBK field a king size double thrashing !,what a legend.

At last, finally, we can all get back to some normality and shut up about Bayliss this Bayliss that, it's gone on for far too long. He's not the saviour of WSN so why all the hype. Big deal, he's retired, so do a lot of riders each year.........And lets be honest, when the rules weren't stacked in his favour i.e. last year, he was no where.....Toseland kicked his ass.

Not as successful as mr fogarty but he was a lot more popular. Will be missed for the never say die attitude. Great that he has chosen to leave at the top. Ducati will be at a loss without him. All the best for a long and happy retirement Troy.

Superb... one of my all time favorite riders. I wish him long and happy retirement with his wife and 3 children

SmutMonkey..... you are a silly boy.

If the rules were stacked in Troys favour then the rest of the Ducatis would be filling the top places in the championship standings.

Your homework is finding out is the next best placed Ducati rider in the final standings.

SmutMonkey.....the name says it all !!!

As per DFH, facts should be gathered and comments made from an informed position
An oldie but a goodie is "it is better to be thought an idiot than to open ones mouth and remove all doubt"
I have personally seen Troy race a number of times with equipment that was frankly not competitive, he still gave it his best shot and never dissapointed his fans as he always recognised thir support. He was as gracious in defeat as he was in victory
Now that is a true sportsman who got to the top with true grit & determination
Everything Troy got he worked damned hard for.
Troy, goodbye, goodluck and thanks for the memories........

SmutMonkey - please grow up and give Bayliss the respect he deserves - he's up there along with Foggy as one of the great racers in WSB. Please could you join the Motogp kindergarten forum where Rossi and Stoner spend their times calling each other silly names - and leave this forum to people who appreciate talent when they see it.

PS I would like to see Colin Edwards back in WSB - pity Bayless wont be there
