Baylis is under contract to test the Ducati bike(s). There may or may not be additional clauses that would prevent him from racing another bike. Money could always change hands between Yamaha and Ducati to make it happen either way. It all depends if Yamaha want that bike to be competitive or use this time to test out a new young rider.

My MotoGP fantasy league guess has officially changed, lol: 1 Jorge LORENZO SPA 2 Casey STONER AUS 3 Nicky HAYDEN USA 4 Andrea DOVIZIOSO ITA 5 Dani PEDROSA SPA 6 Ben SPIES USA
I'm waiting for the hue and cry too put an asterisk next to this years championship because Rossi was hurt Sucks for Rossi, and he had an amazing run of not missing a race.
Since both companies are trying to sign Rossi right now, I doubt Ducati will loan Yamaha Bayliss. I'll bet Troy kicks Kim in the taco every time he watches a WSB race this season.
Introducing your 2010 MotoGP World Champion: Sucks that we won't see the chase but now it's inevitable
I agree. This will also give Pedro and Stoner even more motivation. While Stoners still a real long shot at this point, he's definitely not as far back as before the incident. I don't think it will be a runaway for Yourgay.
Ahhhh fack my leg, its ah broken. Somebody call ah the DOCTOR! No I'm not ah the real doctor I'm ah the motorcycle doctor....
Stoner will run just good enough to make you think just maybe he can climb back into the hunt.... then he will crash and blame it on his bike, slower riders, Hayden or the price of tea in china
