Yes, we think they’ve finally gone mad, or maybe not?

BAYLISS RETURN
The Man comes out of retirement

Ducati WSBK rider, Davide Giugliano crashed in testing at Phillip Island, a few days before the WSBK round and injured his back.

Troy raced with his famous number “21” and performed quite well despite the lack of setup time and trouble with tyres blistering. Will we see the famous #21 at the next WSBK in Thailand? It is very much a possibility.
