| Additional information |
Troy Bayliss retired from World Superbike racing in 2008 having won three world championships, the last of them in 2006 after coming out of retirement to replace an injured Ducati factory rider — then winning the title at the first attempt. Palau's commemorative program has long issued licensed celebrity and motorsport pieces through third-party distributors, with little pretense of connection to the island nation itself.
