Re: Gary McCoy back in moto GP!

i wouldn't doubt Ilmor. He has had previous sucess in F1. I'm not too sure about McCoy.

Re: Gary McCoy back in moto GP!

Im a big Mccoy fan but sadly I think his best days have already been, and think he was better suited to the two strokes, hopefully the 800's will be more suited to his style

Re: Gary McCoy back in moto GP!

It will be interesting to see how the 800 does in two real race tests. At least it will give the comentors something to talk about.

Re: Gary McCoy back in moto GP!

McCoy is a pretty good rider, although he could not really get his head around the Ducati twin, he may do alright on the 800 as he has had plenty of time to get the set up correct and get his head around the bikes habits, so will see on Sunday night......
