Ducati Superbikes – Troy Bayliss, after returning to the saddle of a Superbike for the opening round of the production-derived world championship at Phillip Island, will also be riding the Ducati Panigale R in the second round which will take place in Thailand from 20 to 22 March at the Chang International Circuit in Buriram province.

The Australian who will turn 46 on March 30 will once again replace Davide Giugliano, who was injured a few days before the Australian match. The Italian rider's goal is to get back on the bike in the fifth round of the championship scheduled in Imola from 8 to 10 May.

“I'm really excited to be able to race with the Panigale R once again and I thank Aruba.it Racing – Ducati Superbike Team for the opportunity – he said Troy bayliss – It will be very nice to work with the team and all the guys in the team again. Compared to my race at Phillip Island, which was really organized at the last moment, this time I will have more time to train and to prepare as best as possible. I have great motivation and I feel very energized: I can't wait to get back on track!”

However, no decision has been made on who will be in the saddle for the races in Aragón (12 April) and Assen (19 April).

    I hope they will let him compete until Giuliano returns. He won't get to the podium but even if they put another rider it wouldn't change much.

    some expert who doesn't know the track had dreamed or rather fantasized that he could fight for the podium and that the others would have to tear up their license...
    not to brag but I went to the track a lot and I said that when one climbs after years he mentally remembers what he was doing but the feeling with the motorbike, the muscular movements no longer come instinctively but are driven by mental reasoning and one becomes slow after a few laps fatigue sets in and at that point it's the bike that takes the rider around... that's how it was
    I hope he trains well to make the impression he deserves otherwise it's better not to run

      ..but come on, there's nothing to boast about..there are so many hawkers who regularly frequent the track..

      Come on, I'm joking..I'm a big track player too..zero titles won! but what fun isn't it?!

      I imagined it in the 10s.. maybe this time..

        generally I was among the top 4 then after 6 years I stopped racing, so with a friend a bit for fun and a bit because I was very nostalgic I decided to go to the track one Sunday, well.... I'm not saying I was came back someone who had to learn that generally on that track he takes about 4,5 seconds per lap, but everything that came out instinctively from the movements of the body, the habit of the asphalt which comes forward much faster than normal between one corner and another, in short you feel like a rusty gear and since my old days I ran 1,5 sec slower. this is to make those who have never been on the track understand that even a phenomenon needs to turn when approaching racing even if you are inclined to this type of sport it is necessary to turn, turn and turn again and then you can understand the value of the rider, no one is born who gets on a motorbike or a car and turns like someone used to racing and the same what if we stop……
