AUSTRALIAN HARDMAN Troy Bayliss had a sensational weekend at Brno, winning both of Sunday's Superbike races.

The Aussie took the race one win ahead of fellow countryman Troy Corser, with Ducati's Michel Fabrizio in third place.

Race two saw Corser dominate again, crossing the finishing line a second ahead of Fabrizio, with Italian Max Biaggi clicnhing the final spot on the podium. The results give Bayliss a 79-point lead in the championship.

Bayliss, who also dominated qualifying to snatch pole, said about race one:

"It's been a while since I won and Brno has been up and down for me in the past so I'm happy to take a win. I was struggling a bit at the start to stay with everyone, but my bike just didn't get any worse and I continually got to grips with it and got a better feel throughout the race and felt very at ease towards the end."

And on race two:

"Obviously I'm very happy with how the results have turned out, it's really great for me in the championship, but today I rode two really good races. I was feeling quite confident but Corser was setting a good pace until two-thirds distance, so then I thought it was time to go. It took quite a while and then in the end the guys behind were coming fast, but I didn't have many laps to do and relaxed a bit."
