After Casey Stoner’s withdrawl from the next three MotoGP races due to chronic fatigue, there’s been a lot of fan requests that Ducati try to persuade Troy Bayliss to come out of retirement and take his fellow countryman’s place.
Many nostalgics would like to see a repeat of what happened at Valencia in 2006, but unfortunately for fans,Bayliss doesn’t want to return to motorcycle racing and except for helping out Ducati in testing GP bikes or superbikes occasionally, he seems to be more interested in trying out V8 cars.
This time Bayliss tested the Jack Daniel’s Racing Holden Commodore at Winton Motor Raceway during the team’s Driver Evaluation Day earlier this week.
Troy Bayliss on his test:“It was a great experience.
I came along yesterday and went and had a look at the Kelly Racing set-up and it’s a great facility.
It’s on par with the best that I’ve seen, that’s for sure.
They’ve done a great job.
The guys asked me along to come and do a few laps and it’s nice because it’s been a long time since I’ve been at Winton.
It was 1997 on a Superbike.
