WSB: Bayliss does the double at Misano
Bayliss...comfortable wins in both races

TROY BAYLISS takes two wins at Misano.

RACE ONE

The Australian secured race one in the latter stages, overtaking Yamaha's Noriyuki Haga with a handful of laps to go. Haga was then taken out on the next lap by Max Biaggi in a hopeless overtaking manoeuvre, which put both riders out of the race altogether. The crash happened at one of the fastest parts of the course. Both riders escaped unhurt.

RACE TWO

Bayliss again showed a combination of consistency, aggression and style to win the race by over two seconds from Haga. Third place was taken by Max Biaggi, who passed both his team-mate Kagayama and Troy Corser in the latter stages of the race. James Toseland finished sixth and still maintains his championship lead.
