FIRST RIDE IN SUPERBIKE FOR GARRY McCOY ON THE DUCATI 999R CARACCHI NCR NORTEL NETWORKS

(Valencia 2003, 18 December)

Garry McCoy moved today his first steps on the Ducati 999R Caracchi NCR Nortel Networks for next 2004 World Superbike.

The Australian rider covered only five laps to control that everything was running OK on the bike and for pictures and media activities, but to test he preferred to be concentrated only in Friday, also to avoid to stress the arm injured at Supermoto race during last Bologna’s Motor Show and which still cause him some pain.
