POSTED - 01 December 2006

“I’m currently in a position that I feel very uncomfortable with. I haven’t experienced it for over ten years. I am unemployed.

“My career plans took an unsuspected turn when I was told by Ducati Corse that they would not be requiring my services for the 2007 World Superbike campaign.

“It appears that Troy Bayliss didn’t want to be put under pressure by having a competitive team–mate and Ducati have bowed to his demands. This has left me as the longest–serving Ducati rider facing the prospect of changing brands for the first time in eight years.

“I’ve got a few options that we are currently working on. I suppose that in itself is a motivational prospect.

“I honestly believe that I’ve got another World Superbike Championship title in me. While the offer for the Rizla Suzuki ride in the British Superbike Championship was difficult to turn down, I honestly believe (and hope) that it was the right decision.

“I hope to have some positive news next week and I can ensure you that you will be the first to know.

“I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for your loyal support and wish you a merry Christmas and prosperous new year.”



Gli auguro davvero di trovare un posto disponibile che gli consenta di essere competitivo (sembra che le opzioni siano solo il Team Klaffi e il progetto di Fogarty). Comunque la storia di Bayliss e' la seconda volta che viene fuori (ricordate anche con Barros?).
