Oli Bayliss
Steps Up To
WorldSSP
O
li Bayliss, son of three-time
WorldSBK Champion and
MotoGP race-winner Troy Bayl-
iss, will head to the WorldSSP
Championship in 2022 and com-
pete for the Barni Racing Team
on the Ducati Panigale V2.
Bayliss, 18, will partner Luca
Bernadi in the team, the Italian
taking care of Superbike duties
as the Supersport Championship
changes its rules for 2022, allow-
ing larger displacement twin and
three-cylinder machines on the
grid to compete with the tradition-
al 600cc four-cylinder bikes.
"I'm really happy," Bayliss said.
"I have completed my school-
ing, this means that I can fully
concentrate on my career on
the bike, on training and only on
that."
He will move to Ravenna, Italy,
with his father, Troy, shepherding
him.
"Oliver grew up in the racing
world; 2021 was his first year on
a Ducati V4 R in ASBK, and he
immediately took a win in Darwin
at the beginning of 2021," the el-
der Bayliss said. "Success came
sooner than we could wait and I
think the move to the Barni Rac-
ing Team is a great opportunity.
I hope he can have as much fun
with the twin-cylinder Ducati as I
enjoyed."

Yamaha Champions
Riding School 2022
Schedule
Y
amaha Champions Riding announced its partial
2022 schedule, and everal more dates are expect-
ed to be announced in the next few weeks. In all, the
2022 ChampSchool schedule consists of more than
21 events including 2-Day ChampSchool, ChampStreet
and ChampGrad curriculums. Significant "early bird"
discounts are available for all schools up to 60 days before the events
as most schools will sell out months in advance.
"We pushed hard to get this 2022 partial schedule out early because we've had a terrific 2021 but had
to turn away a lot of students due to full schools," CEO Nick Ienatsch said. "We keep our classes small
because we feel that riding must be taught specifically and individually, but we sold out of 2021 2-Day
School seats by August! We have added several new events, changed up some programs, and we in-
clude our new Champ U online curriculum with every in-person school purchase."
