How good was Foggy really?
Looking back through some old Superbike review videos, I can't help but wonder whether Carl Fogarty's status as statistically the most successful rider in series history slightly flatters him. In 1995 he had a dominant bike and a weak team-mate - Corser, Pirovano and Chili all outscored Lucchiari despite Troy and Frankie being series rookies. In 1998 he had all the luck when Slight had none. He had a few inexplicably slow displays and several bogey circuits. Does the fact that he never attempted Grands Prix full-time also count against him?
