What is Garry Mccoy doing? The "King of Slide"?

Question

Does anybody know what Garry Mccoy is doing these days? I have been a fan for the last 8 years and the closest thing we have left of him in Moto Gp is Tony Elias. I think that he could come to America and race in the AMA Superbike class and probably put everyone in their place with the right machine. Opinions?

Answer 1

hes a good rider no doubt but if you think he will come to the US and win you're sadly mistaken Hodgson couldn't do it even if he had a suzook in the 1st year

Answer 2

He was part of the Illmor Motogp Team late last year, but I have not heard much of him this year.

I know Pitt & Jezza where due to start this years Motogp rounds but pulled out due to team funding.

I hope to see The Slide King back soon!

Answer 3

dunno, good question...

Answer 4

Hey Chris,

I'm not too sure - we saw the Ilmor a couple of times then I guess the money ran out and that was the 800's off the menu! Shame really - think he may have been doing the rounds of the t.v. /  sponsor stuff (think I've seen him interviewed this year -but I have the memory of a goldfish - so couldn't say where)
