MotoGP works seriously and diligently, it goes without saying, to boost the interest of enthusiasts and attract an ever wider and more numerous audience. This new initiative is the demonstration with other new ones which will come into force in 2023. In the meantime, 2022 ends and during the awards ceremony, there will be one that you will have awarded if you go to vote this Friday from your phone or computer…
It is called the Agostini Fan Award and it will be an award given at the season closing ceremony in Valencia. It will reward the best overtaking of the year, with the particularity that it is you who will have decided it. At least until Malaysia, because for Valencia which has not yet taken place, this will obviously be impossible. Too bad, because the title is still at stake and one overtake could just as well decide its fate…
Introducing the Agostini Fan Award! 🏆
Voting opens tomorrow, and we're giving YOU the power to choose the best overtake from the last year! 🙌#MotoGP | 📰https://t.co/8gtWdq5CqF
