The 2022 of Oli Bayliss certainly does not start in the best way, forced to close the test program in Portimao early. Engaged this year in the Supersport world championship with Ducati, the Australian took to the track yesterday for the first day of testing, but just before lunch he was the protagonist of a crash that prevented him from continuing his work.
A swollen ankle had worried immediately and the son of art was transported to the nearby hospital in Faro for precautions. More in-depth examinations revealed the compound fracture of the lateral malleolus of the right ankle. A far from positive outcome for Bayliss, who should have become familiar with the Panigale V2 in view of the season that opens in April.
Recovery times are not yet known, but it will certainly be impossible for the Australian to get back on track today, the last day of testing on the Algarve track. In fact, Bayliss only rode yesterday morning, but the hope is to get back on track as soon as possible, in order to be prepared for the debut. In fact, Oli Bayliss will make his Supersport debut in 2022 as a titular rider under the Barni team, supported by Ducati. The son of the legendary Troy will be riding the Panigale V2.
