WTF are they thinking? Replacing him with Jason DiSalvo.

"Thanks for all your hard work and development these past couple of years Gary, now fuck off while we hand the reins to a couple of rookies"

Dicks.

Mmmmm, I think you'll find he could probably be competitive on the 675 this year. 6th overall last year in the most competive series on the plannet aint too bad.

Triumph New Zealand can't fucken help themselves, how could they be expected to help local riders?

Maybe the bike is so good this year that they don't need talented mad cunts like McCoy riding it to do well.

Haha, sad but true! I can only think Mr Squiggle was gonna cost 'em too much. Still, I'd rather see a 2 bike team with McCoy in it than a 4 bike team with unknowns. DiSalvo is no mug but he's no Spies either.

I didn't think Triumph UK were up to much either. Wasn't McCoy's team German?

McCoy's "official" statement - sounds like he was crapped on from a great height !!!
It's always hard to tell what the "real" story is from the media, but it looks like the BE1 team management need a bit of training in employment relations. Even if they had a good reason for dumping him reading about it in the paper is pretty crap !!

My loyalty to Triumph will prevail.

That's certainly left things a little bit open... perhaps he is lining up another ride?

MCN are reporting he'll be racing in selected MotoGP events next season for the new FB Corse team on a completely new triple now that Hopkins has officially pulled out.....actually sounds authentic but you just never know with MCN.
