Ducati had to have known it was a very outside chance that Bayliss would post good times on the GP9 anyhow. Aside from his lone 990 lashing at Valencia, he was no star in GP's by any means... say what you will about the quality of his bike or team at the time. His hype should have been left where it belongs. SBK
IMO you aren't being very charitable to Troy with that statement, AND you're leaving out a lot of stuff.

Not that Troy didn't deserve the test. Its just that expecting him to run near Stoner's times was reaching a bit I think. His career was superb in SBK, but it just didn't surprise me that he had the same struggles as everyone else on that GP9.

i think he's referring to troy's first two years on the brand-new ducati gp shod w/ bridgestones (when they were crap) after which ducati unceremoniously canned him, and his following year on a 2nd or 3rd string honda.
his being fired at the end of 2004 is what fueled his valencia domination at the end of 2006.

THAT and having Davide Tardozzi and his SBK crew there to be his pit/set up and everything to run and make things ready and right for him...it was just as much a shot for Tardozzi (whom is VERY good friends with Troy) to thumb his nose at the GP crew as well...as there haven't exactly been solid allegiances between the GP and SBK divisions in the Corse plant...
