One of my Favorite's. Last race of a 2 race weekend. Troy Bayliss/Ducati had been killing them all year. Colin Edwards/Honda finally found their groove. Both can win the championship. It comes down to the last race of the season. Because Edwards won the first race of the weekend, Bayliss must win and Edwards can finish no better than 3rd. Great racing, drama and A great way to kill an hour when most of us have to just sit at home. Beautiful Imola track in Italy, Xuas/Ducati as the spoiler, Bayliss riding the wheels off the Duc and Edwards as smooth as Kentucky bourbon. The race starts a little after the 15:00 mark

Thanks for the link.
That weekend was arguably the best two WSBK races ever. I watched them "live" (tape delayed here, but same day) with some friends and we just could not believe what we saw. Incredible stuff.'20 Ducati Multistrada 1260S, '93 Ducati 750SS, '01 SV650S, '07 DL650, '01 DR-Z400S, '80 GS1000S, '85 RZ350Comment

Very good race.
Something very political about WSBK rules at that period. Results show just how much clout Ducati had at that time.
No R1, no GSXR1000, no Fireblade, only 750cc straight 4s allowed to compete against V4s, Ducati 996cc & Honda VTR 1000cc.
Compare the results from the IOM TT for the same year 2002. Ducati nor Honda V4s were the bikes people chose to race in liter size.Last edited by Buffalo Bill; 05-20-2020, 08:34 AM."Only fe' collected the old way, has any value." from His Majesty O'Keefe (1954 film)
