Garry McCoy Injured in Practice Session at Brno

The main event of the second practice day at Brno Automotodrom for Triumph-SC Team has been the very bad accident occurred to Garry McCoy during the second free practice session in the morning. About ten minutes to the finish Garry, who was running very fast, so that at first split he recorded the fourth fastest, found on his line outing a corner in the downhill sector, the Pitt’s Honda running slowly along the track edge. McCoy, heavy engaged to grab a fast lap, tried to spare the unexpected obstacle, but he touched with the front brake lever to Honda’s back. The 675 Daytona of the veteran Aussie has been throw to the protections along the track. The crash has been very hard, the bike front has been disintegrated while Garry crashed against the wall with the left part of his back. Broken ribs and a heavy internal thoracic trauma. The rider was conscious, able to manage the action of first aid rescue along the track. After the first control by Clinica Mobile people McCoy has been translated by medical helicopter to Úrazová Nemocnice Hospital in Brno-Trnitá for more controls to verify the presence of injuries at lung and pleura level.

The following controls did show also a fracture at the sixth loin vertebra, without any damage at neurological level, as well a left lung contusion, so Garry has been transported, following his request, to Private Klinik in Wien, where an orthopaedic specialist well known by Garry is working.

Ruggero Scambia clearly increased his performance, as well the grid position did not change too much: “I increased more as 3 seconds my lap time, but that wasn’t enough and I remained in the  back of the grid. But now the gap from most of my rivals is possible to manage and if I’ll have a good start I could look for a result able to give me trust for next events.”

No glory in 600 Superstok race for Robbie Stewart, 25^th at the finish after a bad start that put him il the last position at the end of the first lap: “I don’t know how to say, the bike runs well, but i had a slow start and then I was not able to have a good pace. Just in the final laps I started to ride better, but it was too late.”
