The mayor of Blackburn was the second person to take to the road after Foggy and took to Twitter to speak about the opening: “A great honour to welcome Carl Fogarty MBE to Blackburn this morning, to officially open a new road in his honour. Fantastic opening ceremony with ‘Foggy’ cutting through the ribbon in style, on two wheels!”
