Veteran Bayliss finally wins at Donington to close in on third world title

TROY BAYLISS moved in on his third World Superbike title after breaking his Donington duck on a chaotic day of racing.

The 39-year-old is retiring at the end of the season and capped his last competitive visit to Britain by finally winning at the Leicestershire circuit in difficult conditions.

Bayliss first raced at Donington in 1998 but had never won there before today after a series of nightmares — including losing his little finger in a crash last season.
