NINE YEARS IN THE MAKING: Troy Corser’s unmatched story
The two-time World Champion had to wait nine years between his two WorldSBK titles – a longer wait than anyone else
Troy Corser made history during his time in the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship. The Australian rider claimed two titles but had to wait an unprecedented nine years between his first in 1996 and second in 2005, longer than anyone else in WorldSBK and it was also a longer wait than anyone in MotoGP™. In a special video, the 33-time WorldSBK race winner looked back on his entire career including the historic gap between his two titles, which he won with Ducati in 1996 and Suzuki in 2005.
Discussing his two titles, Corser said: “Ducati, for me, is a special feeling. In the past, they were always the bike to be on to win the Championship. I’d say my second World Championship, on the Suzuki, was more special for me. 1996 to 2005, nine years, to arrive at the top again after this time was more satisfying.”
