Every week, you followed the pilots' publications on social networks. Often funny, sometimes moving, they did not leave their fans indifferent and it is time to take stock of the year 2018 on social networks.
The first thing that emerged from this assessment is that the vast majority of pilots are more active on Instagram. Many of them only publish on this social network, and it has sometimes been very difficult to find cool publications on Facebook and especially on Twitter, even if most of the top MotoGP riders often publish the same publication on all three networks . In order not to do a triple repetition between Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, we are going to share with you the most liked Instagram publication of the top drivers in 2018, in descending order of “likes”. Who was the most successful? What kind of post did fans like? Let's go !
MOTOGP
At the top of the ranking, unsurprisingly, we find Valentino Rossi whose most liked publication reached the greatest number of “likes”, all drivers combined. It is his presence, at the awards ceremony, on the arm of his girlfriend which pleased 669 people.
In second place, Marc Márquez, waking up from his shoulder operation, reached 441 people.
On the last step of the podium, the difference in size between Dani Pedrosa and basketball player Pau Gasol greatly pleased 174 people.
The message that Jorge Lorenzo sent to Marc Márquez for his title is the most liked publication on his account in 2018 with 152 likes.
Andrea Dovizioso scored 140 people with his victory in Valencia.
One of Andrea Iannone's many black and white photos was her most liked photo of the year with 124 likes.
The birth of Aleix Espargaró's twins moved 91 people.

Finally, for Jules Danilo, it was his presence in Jakarta with Karel Abraham that pleased the most with 1200 “likes”.
MOTO3
In Moto3, it was obviously World Champion Jorge Martín who had the most success. However, the next two drivers are not, as one might have thought, Marco Bezzecchi or Fabio Di Giannantonio.
Jorge Martín's coronation was celebrated by 34 people.
In second place in the category, we find Andrea Migno, much loved by the public for her jovial temperament and her jokes. His most liked photo (22 “likes”) illustrates this perfectly.
