The winter break and perhaps even more particularly the holiday period is an opportunity to find at the forefront of the media scene old motorcycle glories. Carl Fogarty is of this ilk. The Englishman is indeed a four-time Superbike World Champion who counts in history Ducati and in the hearts of the Ducatists. One man has matched him lately and it's one Jonathan Rea who is doing the work for the Kawasaki image. What will 2019 be like? Foggy warns: Baptist arrived…
In World Superbike, there is a man to beat. His name is Jonathan Rhea. And he has a nice Kawasaki. Next year, a new Ducati arrives to counter the Ninja. But not only that… A certain Alvaro Bautista comes from MotoGP. A duo who could well redistribute the cards depending on Fogarty : " Bautista is the only one who can win the title against Jonathan. He is stronger than Chaz Davies who will be his teammate. I don't know if Alvaro is strong enough to win the championship, but he is stronger than Chaz ».
With this he dwells on the case Sale : " I think he had his chance to go to MotoGP. But he preferred to stay in SBK and I don't blame him. If you go to MotoGP, you want a competitive bike, but often you are offered a satellite team and for only one year. It's difficult to accept, especially if you are going through a big project with Kawasaki in Superbike. When, in 2012, he temporarily replaced Stoner at Honda, he drove carefully. If I had this chance, I would have done a little differently ».
Public chat Tutomotoriweb, he ends by regretting the political correctness dominant in recent times: “ no pilot today is allowed to have a real personality. They can't say what they think, like I did or what Scott Russell, John Kocinski or Colin Edwards also did. Now it's all too pretty, too thoughtful, too boring and too predictable ».
