Sutton was born in Moree, New South Wales. He competed at the 1976 Summer Olympics and the 1980 Summer Olympics.^[1] He was one of the four men to win gold in the team pursuit for Australia at the 1978 Commonwealth Games along with his brother, Shane Sutton, who has worked as National Technical Director for British Cycling. Gary is also the father of Christopher Sutton, a professional racing cyclist.

After retiring from competition, Sutton became a coach, spending 26 years as a national coach with Cycling Australia.
