I haven't really seen WSBK for years. I lost interest after PF Chili and Carl Fogarty (both Ducati at the time) retired and the racing became a wee bit tame for a while in comparison.
Chili was a 'win it or bin it' racer who never failed to entertain. He tried so hard to win that on a few occassions he 'binned' the bike on the last corner of the last lap trying to get the lead. He was a real gentleman too.
If you check out Youtube for Chili and Fogarty you'll see what I mean.
Or... check out the riding style of another 'champion that never was'... James Whitham. I would hate to be behind him or have him behind me going into a corner.
The mid-90s were, IMHO, the most entertaining but I must try to catch up with it now.
Now... there's Haga. What a nutter!!
