Ducati's
MotoGP world champion
Casey Stoner has had 'confusing' start to the 2008 season - dominating the opening Qatar night round, but then suffering handling problems with the new machine at both
Jerez and Estoril.
However, the main reason for recruiting Bayliss and Biaggi - race winners in both MotoGP and WSBK - would be to help Stoner's team-mate
Marco Melandri.
After struggling throughout winter testing, the Italian - a five time MotoGP race winner and title runner-up on a satellite Honda - still looks no closer to finding anything like a comfortable set-up.
Melandri has failed to qualify higher than 16th in the three rounds so far held and finished a worst-yet 13th in last Sunday's Portuguese Grand Prix. Satellite Alice riders
Toni Elias and
Sylvain Guintoli have also often been left at the tail end of the 18 rider field.
"It's not an easy situation to resolve with Marco," Suppo told the official MotoGP website. "We have to try to understand if there is something on the bike that just suits Casey, or if it is just a feeling of Marco's.
"The rules don't allow us to test with the factory riders on the MotoGP circuits, apart from in certain circumstances, so we are thinking about having Max and Troy test the bike, but this is not for sure yet.
"We have two riders in Superbikes with experience in MotoGP and they have different riding styles. They are both very fast with our Superbike so it could be interesting to have their feedback," he confirmed.
Biaggi rode for Yamaha and then Honda during a premier-class career that lasted from 1998 to 2005. The Italian, a former four-time 250cc world champion famous for hi smooth riding style, won 13 races and finished second in the world championship on three occasions.
Bayliss claimed his sole MotoGP victory after his full time grand prix career had ended, the double World Superbike champion - who rode for Ducati and then Honda from 2003-2005 - making a triumphant one-off grand prix return for Ducati at the end of 2006, in place of the injured Sete Gibernau.
