McCoy back in MotoGP for 2010

Aussie sensation signs for FB Corse after team favourite defects to Suzuki AMA squad

Tweet
Posted: 1 February 2010
by Visordown News

AUSSIE SLIDING sensation Garry McCoy is back in MotoGP, riding for FB Corse in the 2010 championship.

McCoy, recently laid-off by the BE1 Triumph World Supersport team, will ride a triple-cylinder 800cc machine in the upcoming MotoGP series. The 37-year-old Australian landed the job after John Hopkins jumped ship to ride for Team Hammer Suzuki in the 2010 AMA Superbike championship. The Hopper was widely tipped as FB's favourite for their 2010 MotoGP project.

"It's great to have the opportunity to return to MotoGP," said  McCoy. "I knew almost nothing about the team but I feel really good about what I've seen."

The 2010 MotoGP Championship kicks of at Losail Circuit, Qatar, on April 11th.
