| I think Troy is coming back to Superbikes:-
Dear Leonard,
I've been forwarded your message about Bayliss.
You can be sure there is no politics behind the decision, and we do
not want to blame the riders for a difficult year. You're right,
the bike was difficult at the beginning of the year, then it got
better with the Twinpulse but still need further improvements. I'm
really keen to Troy, but our analysis shows there are faster riders
in MotoGP, and our job is to try the achieve the best result best
for the company and for you guys. I know is difficult to accept,
and many will not agree, but you can be bloody sure it was a
difficult decision and was taken just with the aim of improving our
performance. Troy has been offered a ride in Superbike, where I
think his talent will make him a sure winner.
I hope this at least explain something on you side.
We still have to take anyway the final decision.
Thank you for understanding,
Claudio Domenicali
