You’d have to hope so.  After 44 races over four seasons (doing moderately at best) he managed to win one race when all the other protagonists were involved in their own championship battles. Hardy the credentials of a motoGP genius!

Still it’s slightly less embarrassing than Carl Fogarty insisting his 1994 fourth place at Donington in the wet (after everybody else fell off) proved that he had what it takes to win in GPs.

This guy is completely deluded by his only win on a Bridgestone shod tire at Valencia in 2006. The same bike that walked
the 2007 World Championship by Casey Stoner. To say that he won the duel when Valentino Rossi focus was totally different and also once Nicky Hayden realize he did not need to push for a win, you could easily see Nicky let up and he
Bayliss got the win. Why the Fuck don't Bayliss talk about the many failed and dismal place he got when he was in Motogp and how many Rossi give him a can o whoop ass. The guy scores 1 win and is now trying to make it seem like he is
something special. The way I see it he was surpassed by BEN SPIES in 2009 as Troy Bayliss never did something like BEN DID!!!! Fuck off to your pasture Troy Bayliss.

A little on the harsh side A Bee. But I kinda see your point. MKJ. Lets not talk about Carl Fogarty in 500GP's. He was undoubtably a great champion at WSB. Even if he was and still is an egotisical loudmouthed northern gobshite....

I agree Pagik, Fogarty is the greatest champion WSBK has ever had, and garners even more kudos for some awesome TT rides and wins (something Rossi will never have; which should be of some consolation to Ago for all those of his record he’s broken). 

But despite whatever he says, and he has, he never performed at GP level and can’t really be compared to the likes of Doohan.

Riders who can no longer cut it at GP level can retire to WSBK and still win races, and championships, while WSBK champions rarely cut it in motoGP. There is no parity between the series.

Still it’s an old chestnut and I do apologise for bringing it up, it just seemed germane to the point... I’ll shut up now... maybe?
