Final riders confirmed for Pixado Troy Bayliss Classic
Monday 24 December: The final three riders have been confirmed for the Pixado Troy Bayliss Classic, with two of the biggest names in road racing, and Australia’s most decorated Dirt Track racer confirmed for the 19 January event at Taree Motorcycle Club.
Moto GP rider Randy de Puniet, World Supersport campaigner, Broc Parkes
and Dirt Track legend Chris Watson complete the 24 strong rider

Between them, the star-studded International line up boast no less then
seven World Championships, well over 100 Australian Championships and
thousands of first class race wins.
With riders representing Road Racing, Speedway, Enduro, Dirt Track,
Motocross and Supercross, never before has there been such a diverse line
up of motorcycle racing champions, confirmed to compete on the same billing
in Australia.
Troy Bayliss: "The response from riders has been overwhelming. It is very unique to have such a diverse group on the same
billing. Basically everyone of these riders started out on dirt tracks before
they moved on and exceeded in their chosen field. Each one of us is very competitive, so I am predicting there will be
no holding back when the gates drop. The crowd is set for some great
racing." Bayliss added.
The Legends and All Stars races presented by Insure My Ride will see
all 24 riders compete in 5 rounds of racing.
The Superpoll Shoot out presented by Bell Helmets will see all 24
Legends and All Stars compete against 16 local riders in a winner take all
shootout.
The event will culminate with the Pixado Troy Bayliss Cup, where the
top nine Legends and All Stars will compete against the fastest three club
qualifiers.
In addition to the 24 Pixado Troy Bayliss Classic competitors a number
of special guests are expected to visit the event, 500cc Grand Prix race
winners Daryl Beattie and Kevin Magee have confirmed they will not miss the
event.
"Race fans will get to meet all the riders and special guests
throughout the day night event" Bayliss continued

us visited the track last week for some testing and the pace was already
on."
