If memory serves me right Bayle didnt even turn up for timed qualifying until the last minute, pretty much got out of the hire car, yawned, put on some gear and went out and smoked the previous best time like he was out for coffee. He would have to be the smoothest rider i have ever had the pleasure of seeing.

Just watched Manjimup on youtube ,the track has changed a fair bit,the only recognizable jump is the big table top.
Also just before the chequered flag is one very large berm,if your standing behind it your can't see rider or bike,the jump on that same home straight is no longer there either.
Trees are real big now too. ;D
