WSBK 2002 Imola Race 2 FULL RACE Part 6/8

This is the full race 2 from the famous Imola 2002 weekend. Coverage is live from Australian channel Fox Sports. Commentary is provided by Charlie Cox and Steve Parrish (who now commentate MotoGP on the BBC, as well as Charlie Cox being an ex-host on Top Gear Australia).

This is one of the most famous rounds of World Superbikes of all time. Edwards and Bayliss ended their year long battle with some of the best racing ever seen in the World Superbike series. In my opinion, this race was the last before the death of the old World Superbikes (with Bayliss, Edwards and Haga moving to MotoGP and Corser moving to the Foggy Petronas team), but in 2008 we started to see the rebirth of the series.

This is part 6 of 8, starting part way through the last lap and ending on the podium. Thanks to racer69 for providing me with the DVD this race came from.

All the excitement gets too much for Charlie Cox at 8:35 Im fairly sure thats a big fart he lets go there.... (Or was it Steve Parrish??)

@JakeJarmel Not really because Bayliss went to GP aswell, at the same time as Colin

@JakeJarmel Bayliss and Edwards change to Moto GP after this season...you remember ? Thoese "years" what youre talkin about, Bayliss wasnt in SBK....till 2006.

how you can say 1 is better than the other out of them 2 is beyond me

[JakeJarmel]

If only Colin would have stayed in SBK. He would have been a thorn in the side of Bayliss for years.

@raisinberry777v2 No he aint, another year in MotoGP for Colin with Tech 3. Great post tho, the best race ever with my two fave bikes ever,probably all to do with watching this race all those years ago.
