McCoy tests WSB Ducati

This if the first exclusive picture of Garry McCoy in action on his Ducati 999 World Superbike.

The Aussie is at Valencia today and tomorrow to test the V-twin, which he’s riding after a disastrous year on Kawasaki’s MotoGP ZX-RR. He has replaced Frenchman Regis Laconi on the NCR bike for the coming season.

But his progress is being hampered by a wrist injury, which he sustained in a supermoto crash two weeks ago.

He said: “It’s tough to hang on and wind the throttle back, but I needed to get out on the Ducati as soon as I could.”
