A double win at Portimao for World Champion Troy Bayliss has made for a great farewell.
Troy, World Champion in 2001, 2006 and 2008, rode to victory twice and ended his career with two podiums and a pole position.
Troy retured from his successful career with 52 wins and 26 pole positions over nine seasons.
He concludes this season with a 118 point advantage over Troy Corser in second position.
Ducati took the manufacturers title with an 83 point advantage over Yamaha.
On his race win and his career Troy said: “This was the perfect end to my racing career, to finish with pole and a double win, an absolute fantastic result.
We had a dream start today.
I was a little hesitant before Race 1 because none of us had done a lot of laps here so we weren’t sure for the tyres but I think everyone was pretty much on the same rear.
We changed a few things for the second race and I have to say that bike in Race 2 was the best bike I’ve ever ridden in my career.
”It’s difficult for a champion to be able to thank everyone who helped him get where he did, but Troy said: “I’ve been doing this for many years and it was a long way to come but I got here, and now I’m at the end of my career.
I have a great team behind me and I thank all of them and the sponsors because you can’t do this without those guys.
My career’s come to an end; I’ve won the championship and finished my career in one piece so it’s incredible really.
I wish Michel Fabrizio lots of luck for next season and thanks to everyone who’s supported me over the years.
