MotoGP 2012

One Carl Fogarty gave the TT a go couple of times in the past. He even held the lap record at the TT for several years. Oh, and He won few SBK championships in his time, AND he even raced GP500's

He's also the ugliest cunt to have ever raced a motorcycle. A record that could stand forever.

HAHA, not wrong there, but his eyes could cut you down with his evil stare.

Far too close together and beady to be trusted!

Far too close together and beady to be trusted!

You think so?

[Crasherfromwayback]

You think so?

Without doubt.

One Carl Fogarty ... AND he even raced GP500's

At the risk of being argumentative, to very little effect – just another SBK rider who failed to make the step up…

Every time I see Carl Fogarty I can't help thinking he eats 4 steelo's with warm milk & a bit of vim for breakfast.

Most have. But the real cream can race anything well.

True that. He was far more successful in SBK then he could ever be in GP's, however, at least he got to try

I honestly don't think there are many that made a switch from the top level of one to another and carried on with the success. At least there hasn't been anyone who won both SBK and Moto GP/GP500 championships. (To my limited knowledge) And I am talking in the last 20 years from Doohan, Spencer, even Mamola years till now

When Rainey, Schwantz, Lawson Gardner etc arrived on the scene, there was no real world superbike series as such. Doohan yes. But he only really rode as a wild card a couple of times if my memory serves me correctly. But those guys certainly went from production based superbike racing to the very top of the gP world. But they're all freaks for sure. There's one common thread with nearly all top road racers though, well before superbikes. Dirt as a kid.

You certainly can tell who has a dirt racing back ground in the current crop of MotoGP. And it definately shows in their cornering techinques. Bikes sideways into corners and all that. Just general bike control. Unreal to watch. Especially when they slow the frames right down

Simon Crafar.

Simon Crafar.

I was thinking winning SBK championship and Moto GP championship. Otherwise there are few. Colin Edwards would be another.

[Crasherfromwayback]

Colin Edwards would be another.

And after all the years the poor bastard hasn't won a single GP race.
