I reckoned he would have a go when the Ducatti rider was injured(hope Davide makes a full recovery).
Troy must run on rocket fuel,as it looks like he is still going to ride in the Flat Track.He also races his pushy in the Elite class,in road races,in 2010 he finished just 4 minutes behind the winner in the Gruelling 7 hour, 228km Grafton to Inverell,the Hardest Cycle race in OZ.Maybe we should start a Vintage Pushy race,but go down the Range,would'nt that be carnage!

Not too bad for an "Old Bloke",Troy will start from 13th position on the Grid!!@the 2015 WSBK Round 1 at Phillip Island.
Racing a Dirt Tracker,then Jumping on the Ducati Super Bike to race against the best in the World,on the same day,I know it is not VMX,but he started racing a YZ80 in 1980,35 years ago!!!
 GOOD LUCK "TB21"

A great effort alright, and I think his time was not far off the top 10 guys either - about 1:31 for them in SP2 and TB21 was 1:32.2 in SP1. He will pick up speed during the race too.

Well done TB21,most of us can only dream about riding in a World Championship event.After a break of 7years,just to finish is a massive achievement.Nice high side in practice,he still knows how to crash with style.

A shame he had the problem in race 2, he seemed to be getting to grips with things well. At one point early on he had the fastest lap I believe.

Yep I think lap 7-8 he had the fastest lap in race 2, but he torched the rear tyre in both races, it would be interesting to see how he would've went with more time to set the bike up and get more used to the electronics...   Well done just the same...

Awsome racing....

I reckon TB will be spewing when he sees Larry Pegram's name ahead of him (turned Pro in 1988). Well done TB.
