McCoy-Ilmor Slide King Appreciation!

[MotoLiam]

Gazza is wicked cool. We talked a bit in Estoril and he is really pumped to be back. The Ilmor is a gorgeous machine up close and I hope that they continue to improve and get faster. Speaking of Faster (the movie), McCoy said he thinks that it's great that the American's like it, and he laughed and smiled, saying, "I think it made me something of a hit over there, didn't it?". He's still with the same girlfriend he was with in the movie, and she was with him at the race (and looking good!). Great to have him back in the series

I still crack up evertime I watch Faster and see the Asian guy break down into tears when he meets McCoy...Its funny because I would probably do the same shit meeting any of those guys.

Barros

Sounds like Barros is getting that ride...maybe they will field 2 riders if someone steps in with sponsorship...

my question...

Where the hell are the global corps in the whole MotoGP sponsorship game?

Where is the Coke Honda Team? WHere is the Pepsi Kawasaki ZX-RR? Where is the XBOX360 Yamahas? Where are the Corona Extra Suzukis?
Where are the General Motors Ilmors? Where are the Ford Motors Yamahas...

Geeze, some companies are REALLY dropping the world advertising ball on MotoGP...

REally? All you can get are cigarettes and Telecommunications? Really?

I believe if anyone had given that guy some sort of factory support, he'd have been top 5 in his first year easily and really, top three. I can't see him coming back to MotoGP. There's no point in it and his ride wouldn't be top notch but his WSBk debut and competition could see him as champion within a year or two.

I was a bit emotional..but nothing like that Japanese fan meeting McCoy after he crashed in Japan

 

[ELEVEN72]

I was beyond nervous when I met Troy Bayliss(one of my all time favorite riders), not quite Japanese dude nervous.. I'm not sure how I would fair meeting McCoy.
