Description Back with another drawing, using 2H to 3B graphite pencils again this time on A4 size paper.

Decided to draw one of the all-time iconic man from the Motorsport world, Troy Bayliss.

Troy Bayliss is an Australian motorcycle racer. He has competed in the MotoGP from 2003 to 2006, but is more known for his success in the World Superbike Championship from 1997 to 2002 and from 2006 to 2008. All of his years under the wings of the factory Ducati team.

In the end he can call himself a 3 times World Superbike Champion, having dominated most seasons of his career. In fact the only driver that could challenge Bayliss on an occasion was Honda factory-driver Colin Edwards.
His totally tally records 52 race victories in the WSBK and 1 victory in MotoGP. With Championship titles of 2001, 2006 and 2008 he goes into the record books as the second best driver in the history of the World Superbike Championship. Only having to look up to #1 Carl Fogarty.

Winning his final title in 2008 with pretty much no resistance, he decided it was enough and retired from motorcycling to tend for his wife Kim and his three siblings Mitch, Abbey and Ollie.

I remember Bayliss' victory in MotoGP. It was Valencia 2006, last race of the season, the race that Rossi fell and lost the championship to Nicky Hayden. Two Bridgestone-wearing Ducatis in front of everyone else. It is obvious now that Bridgestone's breakthrough in 2007 actually had happened somewhere around the end of 2006

Yes, I remember that race too. Amazing outcome. Came from WSBK to drive a MotoGP race again after a year and wins straight away. !
