You guys are taking this way more seriously than I was. Finally, forget Bayliss. What do you have on Biaggi?
+1 Initially, I disliked both Stoner and Crutchlow because of their "whining". After some time, I realized they just don't have filters. Like Edwards. I admire/respect that.
Didn't you watch the Troy Bayliss biopic? It was flat track on oiled gravel, plus the motocross for four years (10-14). Then no motorcycle racing until age 23, but lots of bicycle racing including mountian bikes, triathlons, etc. http://troybaylissexperience.com.au...=article&id=8:1969-1990&catid=4&Itemid=2#1969 And if you are discounting motocross, then Colin Edwards started racing at the ripe old age of 17 as well.

You know what, that interview when all done sorta sucked. Yeah, some good questions and some great answers but I was left bored and uninterested. Meh!
