Oli Bayliss will make his Quattro Group British Supersport Championship debut at the next round of Snetterton (June 20/21/22) as the Triumph World Supersport rider deputises for Macadam Triumph Factory Racing’s Max Wadsworth as he recovers from arm pump surgery.
The 21-year old Australian, son of three-time World Superbike and 1999 BSB Champion Troy Bayliss, will be making his Snetterton debut, gaining valuable track time on the Street Triple 765 as he continues to build his experience thanks to the support of PTR Triumph Factory Racing.
Bayliss has been racing in the World Supersport class in recent years, with a career-best finish of fifth at Philip Island in 2024. Bayliss joined the PTR Triumph Factory Racing team this season and has scored a best result of seventh so far, while building his pace and momentum as he adapts to his Triumph Street Triple 765.
Bayliss said: “I’m really excited to be doing a wildcard in the British Supersport championship aboard the Macadam Triumph racing bike in Snetterton. First of all I hope Max recovers well. Big thank you to the guys for giving me this opportunity to be able to do more laps on the bike and to be able to learn a new track. It should be a pretty fun weekend so I’m keen to get underway the week after Misano.”
Dave Wadsworth, Team Owner, Macadam Triumph Factory Racing commented: “Max has been experiencing significant difficulties with arm pump in the past two rounds. He has consulted a surgeon and has scheduled surgery. We anticipate his return to the team with renewed strength in the near future. We extend our gratitude to Oli Bayliss for his interim support and eagerly anticipate his integration into the team for the upcoming Snetterton event.”
