That is a wrap on the final event of the 2021 season for those toasted on stage, with winter break now truly underway as we wait for the roaring engines to return at Sepang International Circuit for the Shakedown Test
Rossi the legend
Already a legend, Petronas Yamaha SRT rider Rossi was been inducted into the MotoGP Hall of Fame and is now an official MotoGP Legend!
The nine-time world champion across all classes was surprised with the honour at the FIM MotoGP Awards Ceremony, adding to a roll call of celebrations after the final race of the season as hung up his racing leathers.
Emotional lap of honour
The emotional lap of honour after the race and hero’s welcome were only the start and those came after a weekend already painted yellow in the number 46’s honour.
Dorna CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta presented Rossi with the MotoGP Legend trophy on the stage, celebrating 26 seasons of history made and hearts captured around the world. Nine World Championships, 115 wins and 235 podiums across all classes are incredible numbers, but the legend is even more than those.
