Could this be an invite Mr Bayliss can't ignore !?

Well they are good mates of the track, so I think anything to get them together would be good for a laugh !

It would have to be an unknown circuit and on 2 unknown bikes, say the GSX-R 1000 and say running Dunlops.

Who would win ? Well as you know I think Troy leaving MotoGP was a great loss to the title and his " one off " ride at VAL in 2006 proved that.

However, he a'int done bad back in WSB !!

However [ part II ] is ............. ROSSI .

He is the G.O.A.T, he can make a motorbike dance the tango. Also, he is getting faster every year, not just the bikes.

This would be a great race to watch, but do either of the rider " really " need to do it ? Even with Vale's taxes, he is still not short of a bob or two.

Think I might be wrong AGAIN. but although its a good money spinner. and would Create a lot of interest I cant see what Baylis would gain out of it. he has nothing to prove. I can only assume that its a ploy from yamaha to say the R1 is better. (I hope so as Ben will be riding it). I think the 1098 had the advantage over the R1. Haga and Corser tried hard enough last season. and Haga went over to Ducati.(he must think the Ducati is quicker.)

Back to the question. I doubt it will happen. Rossi tried his hardest to ride at Portimao and couldn't pull it off. so I think there is a lot of advertising going to come from this TALK. nothing else.

Though it would be great to see it

Edit.. There is food for thought there Albert.

Not beyonds the the realms of reality. though they do put a lot of restrictions in those contracts. And they do like their contracts to be signed, sealed and delivered.

I was surprised that Honda allowed Nicky to go and break his foot during the Holidays.

WOW - you are certainly something Girl Racer. How do you get all this information and from where ? Im absolutely taken in by you. It's not just your bottom anymore that I find so interesting.

Ive forgotten what my answer is now. Blimey no other women has ever done that.

Oh yes Troy Bayliss and Valentino Rossi. Do you think it would be just the two off them racing or would it be like in a proper WSB race meeting?

Never the less I think it would be just awsome and I gather you would be rooting for Rossi and not Troy then?

Bayliss has already spanked Rossi in Moto GP remember 2006 final Moto GP at Valencia on the last 990cc Moto GP race . Bayliss led from start to finish, yes Rossi lost it all that year.. but Bayliss and that 1098R was pretty impeccable this year and I'm sure we'd all like to see Rossi race in a bona-fide World Superbike Meeting we can only hope because I reckon Bayliss would dust off the leathers for that. Have to be at Phillip Island though . Anyway my prediction for 2009 are West for WSS Champ, and Haga for SuperBike on the 1098R followed by Biaggi on the Aprilia.

Given today's news about Honda F1,I fear the sport may be on a slippery slope and moto g.p. as we know it is in fact coming to an end,Its already started in cricket,football becomes more and more dependant on european games; so what is stopping motor cycle racing going in a fashion unbeknown to enthusiasts.A series of "one off" events round the world,Riders even choosing their machines without being tied to factories, or at least being able to guest for who they choose.Laugh then but you heard it here first,in years to come you will perhaps say,"old Albert" was right.

Temptation is a terrible thing or so my hubby tells me everytime he sneaks a chocolate fairy cake from the fridge when I am not looking.

I don't know what the result would be, but I'd love to see it if it happens.

it would be a nice race if they both were riding on Ducs

This would be good to see, i really hope it happens.
