Jorge Lorenzo, Max Biaggi and Hugh Anderson to be made MotoGP Legends

The world championship Hall of Fame will this year welcome three new stars, in the shape of five-time world champion Jorge Lorenzo, six-time world champion, Max Biaggi (4 in 250 and 2 in Superbike) and four-time world champion Hugh Anderson.

Although they were in fact inducted into the Hall of Fame back in 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic has meant that the official ceremony during which they will receive their “MotoGP Legend” badges will only take place this year.

The first to receive his badge will be Majorcan Jorge Lorenzo, five-time world champion (2 in 250 e 3 in MotoGP), during the course of the Spanish GP Jerez de la Frontera. It will then be the turn of six-time world champion Max Biaggi (4 titles in 250, 2 in Superbike), who will receive his certificate from Carmelo Ezpeleta during the Mugello race weekend.

The last to collect his sought-after medal will be New Zealander Hugh Anderson, four-time world champion (2 in the 50 class and 2 in 125) during the course of the Australian GP at Phillip Island.

The list of world championship Hall of Fame members continues to grow then with the official entry of Lorenzo, Anderson and Biaggi.
