Well, yes if rumours are to be believed. The rumour is that they may both ride as wild cards in the World Superbike round at Losail, Qatar. Rossi on a Yamaha YZ1 and Bayliss on the Xerox Ducati (what else?) This follows Valentino saying that he feels World Superbike is more exciting than Moto GP [...]

Last Sunday was a mixture of happiness and sadness in the world of motorcycle racing as Troy Bayliss hung up his racing leathers for the last time. Yes, he did it in style, with a double at a circuit he had never ridden at before, and yes he did it whilst still at the top [...]

Well the sun finally shone and the track dried up at the Portimao circuit for the last World Superbikes (WSB) race of 2008 and the last ever (so he tells us) race for 2008 WSB Champion Troy Bayliss. Boy did he go out with a bang. First he gets pole position then he comfortably led [...]

I am a long-term Bayliss fan and I am hoping that he will come back after the summer break with a vengeance and secure the World Superbike title thus ensuring that he goes out with a bang when he retires at the end of the season. World Superbikes, in fact, the world of racing will [...]
