TROY BAYLISS TO RACE IN THAILAND

If you thought that Troy Bayliss’ return to the World Superbike paddock would include just one quick showing at Phillip Island, then you don’t know Troy Bayliss. The Aruba.it Racing – Ducati Superbike Team announced today that the 45-year-old Australian will race the Panigale R once again, during the second round of the Superbike World Championship at the Chang International Circuit in the Buriram province of Thailand. This is the WSBK Championship’s first visit to the Chang International Circuit, and it will be interesting to see how Bayliss gets up to speed. The three-time champ ran as high as seventh place at Phillip Island, and a new-to-everyone track could potentially play in his favor.

Ducati GP15’s much-awaited debut in the MotoGP tests in Sepang met the (high) expectations set by the team ahead of the new season. The new bike is the first out of Borgo Panigale designed from scratch by Luigi Dall’Igna and his team. Compared with its predecessor, it is slimmer and more streamlined in every detail, from the chassis and aerodynamics to the engine, which is now more compact and refined, especially in its thermal components. While riders Andrea Dovizioso and Andrea Iannone were taking it to the track, we asked the mastermind of the GP15 about his feelings and goals for the upcoming challenge.
