 Didn't need the expert rules for this and the speed effect is not photoshopped it is pure panning.

Cant't get my Haga shot the way I want it, already used Max Biaggi in the Triptych challenge, got a cool shot from Kagayama but it looks too much like Biaggi and the others are good but not as well known.

So here is Troy Bayliss, another cool guy from World Superbikes. A tough cookie. A couple of races ago he crashed, his pinky got tore half off and he told the doctor at the track to amputate it so that he could make it to race two of that day..... Incredibly fast and determined.

1999 British Superbike champion
2001 and 2006 World Superbike champion

The Bike is a Ducati 999 F07 -Factory superbike trim-.

This photo was taken at the Ramshoek corner. The bikes go app 125mph at this point.

Editing:
- +0.5 EV exposure compensation in NX
- Levels
- Shadows and Highlight (very mild to change the contrast a bit)
- Nik Pro Contrast
- Selected the whites with a color range selection and took some cyan out of it with a selective color layer
- history brushed the detail back into the curbstones
- cropped it a bit
- cloned out a little bit of curbstone at the top left
- resized and sharpened
