Jack Miller confirmed for Troy Bayliss Classic
The soon-to-be MotoGP rider has confirmed his participation in the dirt track classic, which will be held on January 17Jack Miller will now be racing in Australia twice in 2015, with the Townsville rider confirming his participation in the Troy Bayliss Classic at Taree Motorcycle Club on Saturday, January 17.
Miller, who is 11pts behind Alex Marquez heading into the final Moto3 race of the year at Valencia on Sunday, is the first of 36 invited riders to be announced for the Troy Bayliss Classic.
The 19-year-old will contest the event -- now in its third year -- before embarking on a full-time Moto GP ride with Honda's satellite LCR squad in 2015 which will see him compete at Phillip Island on October 18.
"I am really excited to be heading back to Taree for the Troy Bayliss Classic,” Miller said. “It is such a great event and as I saw last year it keeps getting bigger.”
Event organiser Troy Bayliss will also return as to defend his crown, just weeks after competing in MotoGP champion Marc Marquez’ Superprestigio event in Barcelona.
“I would love to go back-to-back next year,” Bayliss said. “But my main focus is to bring a better event every year.
“It is a huge coup to have Jack returning to race in 2015. He is the name on everyone's lips at the moment and this is a rare opportunity to see him race in Australia. The upgrades to track and equipment are already under way and we have a lot of exciting new things to announce over the coming weeks.”
