MOTORSPORT: Multiple world superbike champion Troy Bayliss will be one of the special guests at a get together at the band rotunda in Leslie Park at 5pm today.

All members of the public are welcome to meet Bayliss and riders from the Yamaha Racing Team, Crankt Protein Honda Racing Team, DesmoSport Ducati Team, Jon Daniels Racing, NextGen Motorsport and Cube Racing Team late Thursday at Leslie Park.

Warwick Rodeo Queen Ashleigh Grant will be at the get together along with representatives of Southern Downs Regional Council.

Bayliss heads a team for the superbike round and will have a special interest in the 300cc supersport class as his son Oli is competing.
