Troy Bayliss (Ducati Xerox), attired in ‘Superman Returns’ leathers and artwork, scored the race one win at Brands Hatch, where 115,000 spectators enjoyed the race action over the entire weekend. In the second 25-lap outing Noriyuki Haga (Yamaha Motor Italia) prevented Bayliss from doing the double in thrilling fashion, beating the championship leader by only 0.184 seconds. The local crowd got a treat, when James Toseland (Winston Ten Kate Honda) scored a podium finish of second in race one. In the championship battle, Bayliss now leads Haga by 77 points, 307 to 230, with Toseland overall third, on 219.
