MotoGP racebikes appear to be included in what the FBI says were 62 motorcycles worth $40 million confiscated in Mexico and “related to a former Olympic athlete who is among the 10 most wanted fugitives by U.S. authorities.” If the bikes seen in a photo released by the agency actually are MotoGP racebikes, the $40 million estimate could be low.

Motorcycles in two photos released by the FBI look like Ducati racebikes ridden by Valentino Rossi, Andrea Dovisioso, Andrea Iannone, Jorge Lorenzo and other MotoGP stars. What appears to be a Moto2 bike raced by Mark Marquez is also seen in one of the photos.

No information was released by the FBI as to where and how fugitive Ryan Wedding obtained the bikes and then transported them to Mexico.
