"Seven Australian riders – the largest number ever - will compete in the 2005 Superbike World Championship with news that Steve Martin and Garry McCoy have signed deals to ride under the Foggy Petronas banner.
The Aussie duo, who both competed on privateer Ducati 999RSs in the 2004 SBK title, have replaced countryman Troy Corser and Englishman Chris Walker in the Anglo-Malaysian, Carl Fogarty-managed team, and will get their first taste of action on the FP1 triple at Valencia in Spain next week.
With their incumbency at Foggy Petronas confirmed, Martin and McCoy will be joined by Andrew Pitt, Corser, Chris Vermeulen, recently crowned world Supersport champion Karl Muggeridge and Warwick Nowland for next year’s championship, which is set to kick off in Qatar on February 26.
Corser, the 1996 world Superbike champion and founding Foggy Petronas rider, has switched his loyalties to Alstare Suzuki for 2005, while Pitt has been drafted into the Yamaha Italia operation. Reigning world number four Vermeulen, like Pitt also a former world Supersport champion, will remain with the Dutch-based Ten Kate Honda equip, where he will be joined by Muggeridge. Finally, Nowland, a two-time world endurance champion, will again ride under the aegis of Zongshen Suzuki.
