Australian Superbike legend who won three consecutive World Championship titles and became the first rider to win the Superbike World Championship, Moto GP and World Superbike in the same season.

Known for his aggressive style and spectacular overtaking moves, Bayliss's victories with Ducati produced some of the most thrilling moments in Superbike history.
