My bad. Just checked and see you are right. I guess I had my rose tinted glasses on when reading the results in the back of Crosby's book and counted his UK 500 championship wins.
Lol. I think most Kiwis would pay extra tax to have all record of his time in NZ deleted. His unpopularity here says a lot considering our usual reluctance to allow Arsetrailer to take credit for things Kiwi

Nor even a race for that matter

I heard the other day that NZ had 27 world championships, but I can't get there from my (foggy) memory.
Ivan Mauger - 6
Hugh Anderson - 4
Barry Briggs - 4
Stefan Merriman (yes, he is a Kiwi, and I used to see him riding here as a kid with his dad Warwick) - 4
Graeme Crosby (F1) - 2
Katherine Prumm - 2
Shayne King - 1.
So only 7 world champions.
'tart tourmenter
Ronnie Moore - 1
Ivan also had long track world championchips. A combined total of 15

Not to forget
Ben Townley MX2 World champion 2004 and,
Tony CooksleyWorld veterans' motocross champion in 2007
Makes 10 then.
If Conquiztadors post (#22) is right and arsetrailer only has 13 then NZ has way more world champions per capita than them. Approx 3 times as many.
Anyone able to confirm our neighbour's stats?
