Aprilia head of communications Alain Roger, in an interview with Caradisiac. com revealed that Aprilia will field another 2-bike team in World Superbikes in 2010. Roger was not forthcoming on who would manage the team or whether the team would be a satellite. Roger did infer however, that current factory rider Shinya Nakano could find his way onto the squad. Roger also dropped the bombshell that former World Champion Troy Bayliss approached the team inquiring about a ride. How serious or tongue-in-cheek that contact was is yet to be determined. As for other candidates for the seat alongside Max Biaggi, Roger said that it was too early to decide, given the number of "orphans" likely to exit MotoGP.

ahh thank you, interesting that they would field an extra bike. even moreso if the jordan rumor is true. you'd think suzuki might take exception to that one

Bayliss has seemed to have make it clear that he doesn't want to race anymore. Or, is this the Favre type deal here? LOL He just can't stay away!!!! The Aprilia sure does seem capable, that's for sure.

Man, this last race is gonna be one heckuva knock down drag out fight. I fear Spies is gonna crash out pushing so hard for it. But man, am I gonna be tuned in!!!! This could be a Bayliss vs. Edwards match that we haven't seen in many years!

I'd rather see Simoncelli getting on with the RSV4 than a bunch of has-beens.
