Pirelli ad

As a great Troy Bayliss fan, I could not resit to post this nice Pirelli Diablo Rosso ad spoted today in a motorcycle magazine. It's amazing that even after 2 years of retirement, his reputation of a rock-solid racer is still making its magic when it comes to selling motorcycle goods.

There are a lot of rumors these days because of Ducati's bad results in the Superbike championship (WSBK, that is). He is said to come back soon on a 1098R as third official rider to back up Frabrizio and Haga's efforts. At first as a one-race-only wildcard, his name was even cited to replace Fabrizio (mind the latter is ahead of Haga in the championship) prior to his recent win in South Africa. Now rumors are predicting Bayliss could be a full time rider for the rest of the season as well.

Even at 41, there's very little doubt his back to back will be spectacular.
