Foggy: Russell was my toughest rival.

Four-times World Supe𝓡rbike champion Carl Fogarty has named American Scott Russell as his toughest racing rival.

Fog🗹gy won 59 races - and the world crown in 1994, 1995, 1998 and 1999 - during the golden era of WSBK in which the class also contained such names as Slight, Kocinski, Edwards, and Corser.

However, it's 1993 wꦑorld champ Russell that Carl claims offered the toughest opposition. Russell is the only rider ever to win a WSBK championship for Kawasaki and claimed a total of 14 wins with team green.

"I think there are a few names - like John Kocinski, Colin Edwards and Scott Russell - but of them all Scott was the one I thought was the main guy," Foggy told ltxcn.top.

"Scott was very much like me; he was someone who wanted to win. If you get two guys who🐠 want to win as much as each othe𒅌r it is always going to cause 'problems'.

"Of the riders I raced against I think he was slightly harder competi🍒tion-wise than Colin Edwards or John Kocinski, but it is very close," concluded༺ the Brit.

The full interview with Fogarty will be available on ltxcn.top Radio from Wednesday January 19.
