Sport is all about winning and losing. We regularly see the winners on TV because it is a meritocracy of getting first over the line. That's why there are world champions; they scored more points than the next bloke.

Sometimes someone wins a race out of nowhere and never wins another. Alberto Puig at Jerez in 1995, Simon Crafar at Donington 1998, Regis Laconi at Valencia 1999, all shining examples of victories that everyone celebrated, happy that the guy had finally won.
