AMA Pro star back in Australia<br />

to take care of business<br />

AMA Pro flat track star Jared Mees admits there is “unfinished business” to<br />

address, when he competes at the Troy Bayliss Classic for the third time.<br />

Mees, an X-Games Gold medalist and four-time AMA Grand National<br />

Champion said “racing in Australia is one of the moments in my season I<br />

look forward to the most.”<br />

“The event is great, I have made a lot of new friends and love meeting<br />

Australia’s racing fans.<br />

“Last year was upsetting for the racing side of things as the rain didn’t give<br />

us a chance to contest the final events.”<br />

Mees is currently recovering from a broken collarbone, and will get his<br />

season underway at Taree’s oil-based circuit.<br />

Event organiser Troy Bayliss said the track has undergone a range of<br />

improvements to benefit spectators and competitors.<br />

“The Taree Motorcycle Club [has] done an incredible job,” Bayliss said.<br />

“There are some big improvements for spectators and the track itself is looking great.<br />

“I am also really excited to confirm that once again we have three of the best AMA Pro flat track racers onboard for the <strong>2017</strong> event.<br />

“This event continues to grow, and our rider line-up for the <strong>2017</strong> event promises to deliver some incredible on track battles.”<br />

AMA PRO compatriots Henry Miles and Sammy Halbert will join Mees for the fifth instalment of the iconic Australian event.<br />

tickets to the <strong>2017</strong> Motul Pirelli Troy Bayliss Classic presented by Shannon’s Insurance can be purchased at troybaylissevents.com n
