THE TROY BAYLISS STORY: 1998-99
At the beginning of 1998, Troy moved his family to England and finished 8th in what was probably the toughest National Championship in the world: The British Superbike Championship.
In 1999 having settled into the incredibly professional GSE team, Troy was ready for action. Qualifying in six pole positions and five front row positions (excluding poles), he scored six wins and 14 podium finishes in all and won the British Championship by 28 points.
Troy was British Superbike Champion! Because he had won the series on a Ducati, his trophy was presented by none other than the World Champion, King Carl Fogarty. Next stop: the United States of America!
