Former double WSB champion Troy Bayliss will be hoping that with the backing of his UK fans he can take a double victory on his final races at the Kent circuit and move a step closer to sealing his third crown.
HANNspree Ten Kate Honda’s Carlos Checa will be making his debut at the circuit and will be looking to add to his points tally as he strives to close the advantage on Bayliss. The Spaniard has already shown he is capable of winning and the team did the double here last season, so can he win on his Brands Hatch debut?
Max Biaggi returns for a second season and now with knowledge of the circuit the ‘Roman Emperor’ is sure to be a front-runner onboard the Sterilgarda Go Eleven Ducati. He scored a podium in the first race here in 2007 despite never seeing the Grand Prix circuit until Friday’s free practice sessions, so fans should keep watch for the Italian.
With Troy Corser, Noriyuki Haga and former British Superbike Champions Ryuichi Kiyonari and Gregorio Lavilla also racing in WSB, it will be impossible to predict the outcome of the two races at Brands Hatch!
