As the year 2018 experiences its last hours, and before celebrating the year to come with traditional wishes, it seemed to us a duty to remember to have a thought for those who made us vibrate during this season, but also and above all for those who have unfortunately left us along the way.
Also, alongside the mini summary of the 19 Grands Prix offered by MotoGP.com to conclude this article on a more cheerful note, let us include the poignant report, produced by Bernard Fau, devoted to Fabrice Miguet during this disastrous Tourist Trophy 2018 which also saw the departure William Dunlop, Dan Kneen, Adam Lyon, James Cowton and Alan Jackson.
Note that a online subscription is launched to erect a statue in honor of this pilot who symbolized certain noble values of our sport.
We will not forget either Guillaume Fréchet, aged 24 and victim of an accident during the FSBK 600 round in Albi, as well as the young Andreas Perez, whose passion took him at the age of 14 during a FIM CEV Moto3 championship race in Barcelona.
This is how motorcycle competition goes once again, a brutal mix of joy and drama...
The greatest respect to all these men!
It's time to say good bye to 2018 👋
But first, let's have a look back at the 2018 #MotoGP season! 🏁 pic.twitter.com/rYBRwhNMXz
