BAYLISS SMASHES SEVEN-YEAR-OLD PHILLIP ISLAND BEST LAP TIME TO GRAB SECOND POLE OF THE YEAR...
-----------------------------------------------------
Troy Bayliss smashed Phillip Island’s seven-year-old overall best lap time to take a second successive pole position of the year on the Xerox-backed factory Ducati 999 machine. In scintillating form throughout the weekend, the 36-year-old Australian was quickest in every practice and qualifying session and clinched pole with a time of 1m32.159s, a full second faster than Troy Corser’s 1999 mark. Bayliss’s Superpole lap also made it three world champions in the top three positions as he lines up with Corser (Suzuki) and James Toseland (Honda) alongside him, while Steve Martin completed the front row for the Petronas team.
