Foggy on Edwards

From crash.net:


Four-times World Superbike champion Carl Fogarty believes that former rival Colin Edwards, a double World Superbike champion and Valentino Rossi's current team-mate at the factory Yamaha MotoGP team, has lost the hunger to win.

"Edwards was the one person, when he went to MotoGP, that I looked at and thought 'c'mon Colin'," Foggy told Crash.net. "Because he was basically the closest guy to me when I was in Superbikes, but I think he has...

You know; he's comfortable, he's on easy street, he's a multi-millionaire, he's 30-something now and I question whether the hunger is there from him to go out and win.

"I don't think it is - I know he won't admit that.
"I think Colin would have been better off going to MotoGP, if he had not won a World Superbike title, two or three years earlier. But obviously that wasn't possible for him.

"I just feel that it's difficult for riders, when they're in their early 30s and are extremely wealthy anyway, to find the motivation to beat a 26-year-old, in the shape of Rossi," Carl explained.

During his three seasons in MotoGP - with Aprilia, Telefonica Honda and Gauloises Yamaha respectively - Edwards has taken five podium finishes, with a best race finish of second (three times). The Texan will remain at Yamaha next season.




God this guy annoys me. How could you put .... on a rider like Edwards? Especially after he finished 4th last season and is still very capable of winning. Fogarty's just a bitter old fart. I mean, apart from the fact that he's up himself, he's god FIG JAM syndrome (Fk I'm Good Just Ask Me), and he just puts .... on everyone and anyone.
He must sit there each week and think "Hmm, what GP rider will I bash this week?" Why else would he come out and put .... on Edwards like that.
If the .... had half a brain he'd be working his ... off trying to get his Petrojunk team good results, like King Kenny is in GP (Credits to KR Honda, they're putting a lot of effort into the worlds top racing class on a shoestring budget, that really impresses me).
I suspect that one of the main reasons the Petronas team don't do well is (As well as having crappy bikes), they've got bad, pig headed, distracted, bitter managment.

Shut up Carl, no-one wants to hear your crap anymore

Im starting to think this prick is worse with his moth than Biaggi

He's such a tool, isn't he?
That's my point Ooost. I think he should put more energy towards his job, instead of taking the piss out of whoever he wants.
And he thinks he's top ..... I can't get over it, taking the piss outta Edwards. I got a lot of respect for Edwards. Foggy claims to be this big SBK champ-king. True, he's won his fair share of titles, But I'd love to see foggy in his prime on a Honda VTR take the chapionship from Troy Bayliss, defending Champion and SBK ace on a Ducati.
I think he does more motoGP rider bashing. That's pure jealousy. Grumpy old ........ He must think being a multiple SBK champ give him the right to say what he wants about anyone. Mind you, Corser has just become one too, and I've noticed his comments are getting more and more bitter, maybe its a disease, and Edwards must have some sorta immunity to it. "Multiple SBK champion syndrome" What do you think?

The comments might have a small bit of truth in them, but it's mostly Foggy assuming stuff and shooting his mouth off.
In a world without Rossi, Edwards would be winning races, maybe not the championship, but definately taking some wins.

Ooost you should be a shrink, that's good stuff
