The five-time World Champion Jorge Lorenzo, the four-time World Champion Max Biaggi and the four-time World Champion Hugh Anderson were to be inducted into the MotoGP™ Legends Hall of Fame before the Covid-19 pandemic; the Spaniard at Jerez, the Italian at Mugello and the New Zealander later in the season.
Due to restrictions caused by the pandemic, it was decided to postpone their inductions until it was possible to hold a more traditional MotoGP™ Legends ceremony – allowing all three riders to celebrate this milestone in company family members, friends and paddock staff, as well as allowing journalists and media to attend.
As restrictions ease in many places, a new date has been set for each ceremony. As initially planned, Jorge Lorenzo will be inducted on Saturday at the Circuito de Jerez – Ángel Nieto, followed by two-time WorldSBK champion Max Biaggi on Friday at the Autodromo del Mugello. Hugh Anderson will be inducted later in 2022, with the initial plan calling for the ceremony for the New Zealander to take place at Phillip Island.
