Carl Fogarty, a true Superbike legend, will be involved in the British Superbike Championship (BSB) this year as the team principal for Advocates Racing.
The former rider was a four-time Superbike World Champion with Ducati in the 1990s, retiring in 2000 after suffering multiple injuries in a crash at Phillip Island.
Now 59, Fogarty is making his return to racing in a managerial role in BSB. Advocates Racing, led by Lecha Khouri, will be using Ducati bikes and working in collaboration with Jackson Racing.
Speaking to the official championship website, Fogarty commented: ‘I love the racing in BSB. Of the three championships I follow – MotoGP, World Superbikes and BSB, it is my favourite one. That’s because of how close the racing is, the nature of the circuits that they race on, the power of the bikes and the way that the electronics don’t interfere with the riders, they control it and I can relate to that from when I raced. I’m happy to be part of this and with my racing knowledge and experience, being involved with this race team is incredibly exciting’.
