Answer 1

Tough one.

I still wouldn't bet against Bayliss, as you say he's Rock Hard.

So, yeh....I'm gonna go for Bayliss on pole, but I don't think he'll be able to keep up the Race Pace. (I could be wrong, he is super human after all)

I reckon the two top spots on the podium will be between Haga and Kagayama.

Answer 2

Hi Wiggy, Hope you had a nice Christmas and New Year.

Is there another sport in the world where the riders are as tough as bike riders?? I bet the questions after an accident are:(in order)

When can I ride again?

Will I be ok?

Cant rule Bayliss out for pole. Will miss Toseland this year in Superbikes.

Answer 3

Read it yesterday.... and I'm going to say Baylis WILL be on pole for the first race.  The man wont lie down. he has the time  and the determination. if money is to change hands... Baylis then Haga All season. shame because I like Haga. but its going to take a bullet to stop Baylis

Answer 4

The bones are not displaced which is pretty important, but having had experience with broken collarbones even though they say he will be healed in 21 days that really is cutting it fine.  Not being able to do anything with the arm for that long tends to make it weaker and it will still be painful for at least that long again and you certainly wouldn't want to fall on it.

I still wouldn't count him out for the start of the season but he may not be able to compete to the standard he would like so Kagayama, Farizio and Corser may be clapping their hands together.

Answer 5

Troy Bayliss will be on pole for the first race!

I have no doubt... :)

He is crazy and we saw this on Donington park race.

Do you remember?

Bayliss is not new to serious injury (unfortunately),in fact he had to have his finger removed after crashing out of round four of the World Superbike Competition in Britain's Donington Park. :(

He will fight to catch the pole position and finally,to win another world championship with the new Ducati 1198 F08

...Don't worry he will be back..you'll see :)
