Troy Bayliss Classic 2013 and 2014

[VMX247]

The Troy Bayliss Classic is attracting strong support from both industry and non-industry sponsors with a new social media application Pixado.com coming on board as the naming rights partnership for the inaugural event and will use the event to showcase their Facebook photobook application.

Pixado.com launched worldwide this month and is an innovative way to create and share images within Facebook. The simple, easy to use application allows users to create virtual storybooks using both their own and their friend’s images.

"I am delighted to have such a fresh and vibrant service as Pixado.com come onboard as the naming rights partner for the Troy Bayliss Classic," Bayliss said.

“Just like the event will bring legends past and present together in one location, Pixado.com will do the same with friends and family bringing them closer together via the web.

"Facebook is such a popular social media outlet and Pixado.com will allow people to share images and do a number of other applications. I look forward to sharing my first Pixado.com storybook with my 150,000 Facebook fans very soon," Bayliss added

The ‘Pixado.com Troy Bayliss Classic’ that will be held at the Taree Motorycle Club on Saturday 19th January 2013, will feature a star-studded line-up of past and present motorcycle racing legends.

Joining the likes of Jason Crump, Chris Vermeulen and Daniel Reardon on the billing is Australian Motocross legend Stephen Gall and AMA Supermoto Champion Troy Herfoss.

Gall, will be one to watch, the motocross icon boasts five Australian Motocross Championships, four Mr Motocross titles, three Australian Dirt Track Championships and is a two-time winner of the Finke Desert race.

Herfoss, the 2008 AMA Supermoto Champion and X-Games Silver medalist has also enjoyed great success on both the bitumen and dirt.

The ‘Pixado.com Troy Bayliss Classic’ will encompass three feature events.

The Legends & All Stars presented by Insure My Ride will see 20 invited racers, participate in up to 5 rounds of racing, mixing old school legends with current day all stars.

The Legends and All Stars plus 20 of the fastest club riders will also participate in the Superpole Shootout presented by Bell Helmets, a solo, flying lap to determine the fastest rider of the meet.

The fastest 10 riders from the Legends & All Stars and two fastest club riders will qualify for the final event, the Troy Bayliss Cup presented by Pixado.com where riders will vie for $5000.00.

Wow, looks like not only Stephen Gall is signed up, but now Anthony Gunter! This really is a must see...

[JohnnyO]

Dave Armstrong and Paul Caslick will be there too..

[Curly3]

I'll be there.
On the safe side of the fence, this will be a ripper.
From what I hear maybe even Chris Watson?

[JohnnyO]

Plenty more legends to be announced yet.. should be an awesome event.
My money's on Troy Herfoss so far

[firko]

From what I hear maybe even Chris Watson?

I've heard from a few different sources that Chris Watson isn't sailing too well healthwise, anyone know anything more?  We're going, it should be brilliant.

[Curly3]

Pool comp at the Old Bar Hotel?
Purple Dave, I'll pick you up on the way through?
I've got a cuz who lives within walking/stumbling distance.
That aint good news Firko, fingers crossed Chris can get on top of his health problems, happens to the best of us, maybe we'll see him there in 2014 because it'll only get bigger.

P.S. SHITE, did I just say 2014.

[oldyzman]

Maybe the old legend Casey stoner may now have time to attend..

[Curly3]

Nah, too old.
There's been some talk but how good would that be?

[JAP 454]

Yeah, Johnnyo, I'll stick some dollars on young Herfo,too, he's pretty good at the Motard style stuff.
It's gunna be a ripper of a meeting by the sounds of it.
