This has to be the best quote of the season from Bayliss before the Valencia round.

"If you looked at me you wouldn't think I'd been in a motorbike accident, you'd think I hadn't paid some bill and the mafia had come and chopped one finger off with a pair of scissors and hit my nuts with a hammer because I haven't got another mark on my body!"
I'm looking forward to the races. I hope Bayliss can ride it out.
I know its only free practice but Steve Martin is 7th. Go Marto!
Lanzi and Rolfo? They make the championship ordinary.
Please prove me wrong!
Lanzi's been alright without being spectacular but Rolfo has been very disappointing. The rain will be Martin's best friend. In fact any privateers best friend. Brookes has been fast in the wet and Xaus is always fast in the wet. His crashes are usually fast too! :)
what's the forecast for tomorrow? are we going to have wet races?
Great effort from Josh Brookes in sticking it in 3rd and top Honda.
For those outside Australia Josh won both the Australian Supersport and Superbike championship in 2005 and was well on his way to doing the same in 2004 before a nasty accident stopped his season.
Josh has all the talent to take him to the top and is a true battler of the sport.
Josh needs to impress at every opportunity with the likes of Camier and Rae coming through the ranks with Honda support.
Having 9 fingers hasn't slowed down Bayliss at all ! He probably has a weight advantage now. How much does a pinky finger weigh? :)
Normally, I would say that Troy Bayliss has balls as big as coconuts, but due to the accident, more like dinner plates :laugh: Go Troy, kick some ass.
Great guy too, I shared a pitbay next to him when running a mate's VFR400 in a Clubman race at Oran Park - Josh was getting some practise time in on the Fireblade.Quote:

My first ever track day at Winton a very young JB was testing a Honda 929 and everytime he came up to overtake he would come up real close and lift the front wheel and blast past me..... Needless to say it happened many times through the day.Quote:
