BLACKBURN'S four-times World Superbikes champion Carl Fogarty is set to sign former arch rival Troy Corser to his new team in the next 48 hours.

The two men clashed several times when on the Superbikes circuit but Foggy was delighted to sign the former AMA and World Superbike champion to the team, which will develop the Foggy-Petronas superbike.

"We never thought we'd get a big-name rider," said Fogarty.

"We're a new team with a new bike that obviously needs setting up."
