Bayliss Completes Desmosedici GP9 Test
Bayliss completes Desmosedici GP9 test
The three-time World Superbike Champion joined official Ducati test rider Vittoriano Guareschi at the Mugello circuit in Italy May 12-14. Bayliss says the test was his first time on a motorcycle since he retired from racing last year and he was quick to dismiss the possibility of a full return.
Ive had three good days during which Ive felt like a rider again, says Bayliss. It didnt take long to get back into it but, before anyone gets any ideas, I will also say that Im happy to be heading back to the airport and towards Australia and home this evening: I have no intention of returning to racing!
We worked each day on the bike and each day I was able to push harder, until I started to record some respectable times, says Bayliss. Now Ill stay home for a while but later in June or July Ill be back in Europe for a few weeks. I will probably test the bike again during that time, I dont know exactly when, but I am very happy to play a part in this project.
