those where I previously had it,
and I was able to make it work
then. Just going off that gauge
and how far it's come in three
months the range of motion, I
think it's going to be okay. It's
obviously going to be limited. It's
not going to be a full function-
ing wrist, but therapy thinks it
should be okay long-term. It's
just getting past the soreness
and working through it. I think it'll
be just fine."
Mullins added that his doc-
tors thought they might be able
to clear him to ride in six weeks,
but Mullins wasn't as optimistic
and said he thought it might be
as late as May.

Troy Bayliss plans to
give his World Superbike
comeback another go
at the second World
Superbike round at the
Chang International
Circuit in Thailand.
BAYLISS BACK FOR MORE
T
hree-time World Champion
Troy Bayliss will have another
go at World Superbike racing, rid-
ing for Aruba.it Ducati in the sec-
ond round of the championship at
the Chang International Circuit in
Thailand on March 20-22.
Bayliss, who will turn 46
shortly after that second round,
already competed alongside
Chaz Davies at the opening
round of Phillip Island in place
of Davide Giugliano who was
injured during the first day of
testing, and will substitute for
the Italian rider once again.
"It will be great to work with
the team again," Bayliss said
via a team release. "Compared
to the Phillip Island round—or-
ganized pretty much at the last
minute—this time I've had the
chance to train and prepare my-
self properly. I'm really motivated
and feeling ready. I can't wait to
get back on track."
As for the injured Giugliano,
he continues to work on his
recovery and still has to rest for
another few weeks before get-
ting back to training. The Italian
hopes to return to action in time
for the fifth round in the champi-
onship at Imola on May 8-10.
At the time of the release no
decision had been made for
Giugliano's substitute for rounds
three and four—Aragón on April
12 and Assen April 19.
