Troy Bayliss

At 55 years old, Troy Bayliss physical status not available right now. We will update Troy Bayliss's height, weight, eye color, hair color, build, and measurements.

Troy Bayliss (born in Taree, New South Wales, Australia), an Australian motorcycle racer, was born on March 30, 1969.

Bayliss has won the Superbike World Championship three times and a MotoGP race, both with Ducati.

Since winning the 2008 World Superbike Championships, he continued his career.

His 52 World Superbike victories come only after Carl Fogarty and Jonathan Rea.

Early life

Bayliss spent the majority of his childhood in Warialda, New South NSW. Warren, his father, was a baker, and his mother Lorraine drove a local school bus part-time. The family moved across the street from the local high school. He was an excellent motocross rider by age 10, and he could often be seen riding through the local bushland that surrounded the town and went right up to the family's house. When Bayliss was about 11 years old, the family moved to Taree.

Bayliss displayed a lot of promise as a youth in the sport, but as he entered his teens, his passion for racing slowed. He began an apprenticeship as a spraypainter at Joe Berry's shop and commuted to work by bicycle. Bayliss would pass a motorcycle dealership on a daily commute and was eventually tempted enough to buy a Kawasaki ZXR 750 on which he began racing. He won the first race he rode on the bike and did well in subsequent ones. Bayliss took part in the Australian Supersport championship, despite the financial risk he was taking, as a result of this early success and despite the financial risk he was taking.

Career

Bayliss qualified as runner-up in the Australian supersport championship in 1995 and runner-up in 1997, finishing third and second in the Australian Superbikes series.

He made his debut in 1997 with the Dutch Arie Molenaar Suzuki team as a wildcard. Despite exiting the final corner in third place on a significantly underpowered unit relative to his peers, Bayliss finished in sixth, owing to the lack of fuel in his machine.

Bayliss' remarkable work on a clearly underpowered motorcycle earned him a lot of attention, and he was later given a ride in the British championship with the new GSE Ducati team the next year. At Cadwell Park, his first victory came in race 11 but a slew of accidents and mechanical failures prevented him from winning a big championship battle. Bayliss defeated Chris Walker to win the title in 1999.

Bayliss began competing for Ducati in the United States' AMA Superbike Championship in 2000, but he was called to replace Carl Fogarty in the Superbike World Championship after he was hospitalized on Philip Island. Despite losing the first three rounds and getting off to a poor start in his first run in Sugo, Bayliss had a fruitful season, winning two races and placing sixth overall in the championship.

Bayliss opened with four seconds in five races in 2001, his first victory in race 8 at Monza. His consistent performances and six race victories paved the way for the championship title, defeating reigning champion Colin Edwards. Bayliss clinched the title in the penultimate meeting in Assen, when Edwards failed to gain any points in the final session after suffering a fractured collarbone.

Bayliss' 2002 was in good form, winning the second round in Imola, but Edwards retained the lead, even though it was the longest race wins in a season at the time. In race one, Bayliss crossed the line first but then lost on aggregate, as the first segment of race one was halted due to a oil leak detected by Peter Goddard's Benelli. Peter Goddard, incidentally, vacated his seat on the Suzuki superbike in the Australian series in 1997 and praised Bayliss for his role.

In retrospect, the 2002 season had been marred partly due to mishaps involving his own team's. Bayliss was hurt while collaborating with Ruben Xaus, whilst Xaus was swerving to put heat into his tyres, and Ducati changed the scene after the Laguna Seca round. This frame change would be costly, as Bayliss has regularly stated that the bike didn't feel like the one he had been riding before. The team reverted to the original frame in Imola only in the final round. All weekend, Bayliss was extremely competitive.

Both Bayliss and Edwards won MotoGP in 2003, but it was Bayliss who was first to be successful. During Ducati's first season in the sport, their bike was highly competitive, with Bayliss winning three third positions and finishing sixth overall. He was a student at Philip Island, Brno and Welkom for a brief time, but he only lost the rookie of the year competition to Nicky Hayden. Loris Capirossi, a teammate of Loris Capirossi, won their first match at the Circuit de Catalunya for the first time.

Nevertheless, 2004 was a challenging year for the team, with Bayliss finishing 14th in the standings. Despite (or perhaps due to) the bike's high straight-line speed, it didn't do well, and Bayliss was often overriding and crashing frequently, resulting in Bayliss' dismissal from the Ducati crew, which was a component of which Bayliss had been working for five years. Many people were outraged by this change, considering that neither Bayliss nor Capirossi were able to do as well as they did last year.

Bayliss' dismissal was motivated by sponsorship pressure rather than by any performance-based reasons, according to some. Carlos Checa was selected as Bayliss' replacement rather than for any other reasons. However, Bayliss is much older than Capirossi, and he had not been as close to him in 2004 as he did in 2003, so some questioned whether he had any more to offer the team.

Despite promising speed shown in his first tests on the 2004 model and Alex Barros winning in Portugal, he earned his ride with Sito Pons' Camel Honda team for 2005, but not a frontrunner. Bayliss was unable to participate in the final six races because of his fractured arm, and the season's closeness of the Valencian Grand Prix would have been his 50th Grand Prix appearance. Bayliss did have a peek at why he was unable to crack into Grand Prix qualifying, describing the Honda MotoGP bike and MotoGP bikes in general as too rigid, rigid, and similar to a 250.

Ducati offered Bayliss a one-off entry in the year's final MotoGP competition in Valencia, owing to Sete Gibernau's injury. Bayliss finished 2nd and led the whole race, which culminated in a Ducati 1–2 victory. This was the first time any rider had won both the Superbike and Grand Prix world championships in the same year, and the first by a reigning champion. His remarkable win was somewhat overshadowed by Valentino Rossi and Nicky Hayden's dramatic performances that ultimately determined the 2006 champion.

Bayliss returned to the Superbike World Championship in 2006 after a disappointing 2005 season in MotoGP and a particularly disappointing 2005 campaign, and was reunited with the Ducati factory team.

Bayliss' pre-season results in testing for 2006 showed a great deal of promise, with him leading timesheets in both Qatar and Valencia. Despite MotoGP bikes being purpose built racing prototypes and Superbikes being based on roadgoing vehicles, both he and Troy Corser were racing quicker in Qatar than many MotoGP competitors from last season.

Bayliss began 2006 in a dominant manner, leading the points table after the first five rounds with seven straight race victories and additional podiums. His form continued to rise to the point where he was destined to win round ten in Lausitzring with three rounds remaining. This was preventing the death of one, but he only needed a fourth place in any of the final four races to win the championship. Bayliss claimed the race at Imola with a fifth finish in Race 1, which was enough considering that James Toseland did not win. He was crowned champion in race 2, establishing the brand for the first time.

Despite winning in the final MotoGP championship of 2006 in Valencia, he continued to compete in WSBK with the Ducati team in 2007.

On lap six of the first Superbike race of the day, Bayliss crashed at Coppice Corner in Donington Park, California, on April 1, 2007. During the accident, his right hand was momentarily trapped under the motorcycle, and his injury necessitated the surgical removal of a testicle and the phalanges of his little finger. Bayliss' injury had him disqualified from participating in the second Donington race. He came in fourth place overall.

Bayliss continued racing for the Ducati factory, riding the latest Ducati 1098. Bayliss won the race one in Qatar for their first victory with the latest 1098 model. On what was his last appearance at his home round, he also won both races at Philip Island. He made his debut at Misano, winning nine podiums in ten starts at the track. On the other hand, he triumphed in race 1 at Donington Park for his first appearance on the circuit. At Vallelunga, he came within three corners of clinching the championship but crashed out at a low-speed corner, ensuring that Troy Corser and Noriyuki Haga maintained a mathematical apprehension. By finishing 3rd at Magny Cours, he clinched the title and brought the series to a close, winning race 2 – his 50th World Superbike victory. In his last World Superbike meeting in Portimo, he won by a double victory.

Bayliss tried a Ducati 1198 in a special private test at Mugello in May 2010, setting new records and sparking rumors that he would return to racing in a special way.

Bayliss made the comeback in February 2015 when he was sent to replace injured Ducati rider Davide Giugliano at the Phillip Island opener, riding the rugged 1199 Panigale R.

Bayliss has since joined Triple F Racing as a co-driver in the domestic V8 Supercar touring car series. At the Phillip Island 500 and Bathurst 1000 long distance runs, he joined them with their regular driver Dean Fiore. They lost an alternator and did not start the Phillip Island race and did not complete the Bathurst 1000.

He has competed in the 2013 and 2014 Australian Porsche Carrera Cup Championships as a co-driver.
