A thrilling race day for the Ducati Xerox Team as Troy Bayliss stormed to victory, to take his maiden win at this particular track in Race 1 before following it up with another win in Race 2.

Troy Bayliss' achievements here at Brno have rewarded him with 50 additional championship championship points, and so he now leads with 309, now 79 points ahead of Suzuki rider Max Neukirchner. With Ducati Xerox riders stepping up to the podium after both races 1 and 2 today, Ducati has further increased it's lead in the manufacturers championship, now holding 373 points ahead of second-placed Yamaha (317 points).

Troy Bayliss (Race 1 - 1st, Race 2 - 1st)
"I am very happy and of course it's increased my championship lead which is great. I rode two really good races. I struggled a little at the start of Race 1 but once I started to pull away in the closing stages I began to relax a bit. My Ducati has worked perfectly and was a pleasure to ride so a big thank you to my team as we just got everything right today. The tyres did the job too and we didn't seem to suffer from the tyre wear that affected some of the other front-runners. In race 2 the other guys were coming fast towards the end, and I didn't have much left to give, but I held on and I am extremely happy with the result. Well done to Michel too who rode two great races here today."
