Back at the top of WorldSBK thanks to 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alvaro Bautista’s stunning 2022 campai𒀰gn, Ducati became world champions for the first time in over a decade൩ last season.

However, success was much more freꦿquent for the Italian manufacturer during the 90s and early 2000s, with multiple riders bringing th♔em glory.

• Lecuona: ‘We’re still lacking something’ as gap to top teams rem🧜ains
• Aegerter: “Braking from 300km/h is som⛦ething I nee𓂃d to get used to”

One of those was Fogarty who won the most championships (4) out of the four ex-riders listed above, and while Tardozzi, who is the current Ducati MotoGP Team Manager and a former racer i🉐n the Italian Superbike Championship, has a close relationship with Bayliss, it’s Fogarty that received the highest compliment. 

Speaking to , Tardozzi said: "I have a special friendship with Bayliss. But I think Fogarty was one of the first SBK riders who could have raced in the world championship and been very competitive. Carl had a strato🃏sphe🦋ric talent.

"Fogarty, despite what people say, was a shy guy. He wasn’t as aloof as they say. Bayliss also had innate talent that he put to good use, perhaps a little late, but he had excel🍨lent results."

When asked about another Australian by the name of Troy, that being Troy Corser, Tardozzi had this to say: "He wa🅷s an old-fashioned racer, one of those who didn’t mind a beer! 

"He liked to race, but also to party. ⛦More than once, I had to go and fetch Corser when he was in a certain condition [drunk]. 

"I learned years later that twice he finished on the podium after coming back to the motorhome 💦at 4am, not in a good condition!"

Finally we have Toseland, who w🔥as the last o𒁏f these four riders to win a Superbike title with Ducati. 

Toseland won the 2004 ღworld championship before switching to Honda and doing the same in 2006. That was before a move to MotoGP took place in 2008 with Yamaha.

When discussing Toseland and his ability, Tardozzi didn’t feel as though he quite measured up to the other three riders, although his m🥃ental strength and determination was key in having sustained success. 

Tardozzi said: "James 💮didn’t have🐠 the talent of others but, thanks to stubbornness, his desire, he had incredible mental strength."
