The five juniors who have received the 'Captain's Pick' to compete in the Baylisstic Scramble at the 2015 FIM Superbike World Championship opener at Phillip Island this weekend have been announced ‰ÛÒ and some of the surnames will be instantly recognisable to road racing devotees.
The biggest world superbike name in Australian history, Troy Bayliss, didn't have to work up too much of a sweat to make his junior selection ‰ÛÒ his 11 year old son Oli will be joining his squad, while Max Stauffer, the son of multiple Australian dirt track and road racing champion Jamie Stauffer, will be joining Team Crumpy, captained by former world speedway guru Jason Crump.
The other juniors in action will be Billy Van Eerde for Team Caslick (captained by Paul Caslick), Joel Kelzo for Team Gally (Stephen Gall) and Callum Davies for Team Vermeulen (Chris Vermeulen).
In the senior field, a late change sees 2013 Australian Superbike Champion, Wayne Maxwell joins Team Bayliss replacing Mick Withers.
Bayliss, whose events company runs the Baylisstic Scramble, was forthright when it came to his junior selection methodology.
‰ÛÏI chose Oli, because I can!‰Û
