I'm not sure how I feel about the whole project to be honest.  It could be fun to watch McCoy on the bike at least.  I wonder if he'll score any points.

Aprilia Cube II.  Poor Gary.   :'(

Technology has neutered that man.  Sucks.

typical MCN.. that article makes it sound like he'll be racing.  if the FB plans stay the same as they were when hopper was going to do it, that'll only be true a few times next year.
Like this is the racing, no?

Well with the engine rules not applying since they are a first year entrant, they could give it max power with just enough reliability to make it to the finish line, and with McCoy in the saddle we could see some theatrics.  It will be like the Foggy/Petronas FP1 experiment all over again.  Get a 3 cylinder bike, drop in a bunch of power, and hope to God it holds together long enough to see the finish!   [clap]

if he continues to ride like he did in WSS, the flat-tracking McCoy is gone

so I guess what we are all really thinking is....NOW last place is really sewn up!


nothing against Gary...but I think we all agree that the FB Corse is an unknown property that is as predictable as a hand grenade as of this point....

Yes it does depend on who's throwing and who's catching.
