Commenting on the potential of the bike he will be piloting in the Superbike Classic TT, plus his overall expectations for the four lap race, Gary said:
“I am delighted to be joining Team York Suzuki for the Classic TT.
Obviously it is a shame that Dave can’t ride the bike due his injuries and I wish him well in his recovery, but hopefully I can build on his performances for the team last year.
The team have made a massive effort with the bike preparation and we should be able to challenge for a place on the podium.”
