Trying to remember a race

[WinstonWolf]

Can anyone remember a race from a few years back, *someone* kept crashing in abysmal conditions and just got back on and kept moving back up the field only to bin it again. It *might* have been a Ducati but I can't really remember

Bayliss in WSBK?

Yip. Wasn't it Silverstone?? Finished 4th despite 3 or 4 crashes!

Italian electrics failing on the cut out tilt switch worked in their favour that day.

I think it was Bayliss at Silverstone But it was race 1 in 2002!

There was the Assen race that Chris Walker won, where everyone kept crashing. He crashed early on in the race, but stayed in to win it. I think quite a few kept getting back on and crashing in that race.

Nah, for an Aussie, Troy gets a pass.
Top bloke, top racer. I think you'll find he's not Australian at all
Personally, I think he's the perfect racer.
Came from no where, achieved miracles with nothing.
Never moaned, whinged or sniped.
Gave it 100%, never left anything in the garage.
Retired gracefully and is one of the most respected racers out there.

Baylis was just awsome, I was and still am a massive fan of Mick Doohan,

Daryl Beattie was a top bloke too same with that kid that rode a Honda in WSB and a Cresent Suzuki in Moto GP (he had a massive mole on his face)

Now, Casey Stoner is a different ball bag.

So what we are saying then, is there are some decent Aussies, but they are few and far between?
