The Italian goes from legend to Legend in an emotional induction at Misano.
Loris Capirossi is now officially a MotoGP Legend! The popular Italian took his place in the history books in Misano on Saturday as MotoGP CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta presented him with his Legend medal in front of his family, friends and colleagues.
Across all classes, Capirossi made 328 starts, taking 29 GP wins (8 in 125cc, 12 in 250cc and 9 in MotoGP). He has 99 podiums, 41 pole positions and three titles, and is the youngest Grand Prix World Champion after taking the 1990 125cc world title aged 17 years and 165 days old. Pedro Acosta was crowned in 2021 aged 17 years and 166 days old, just one day older. For more than three decades, Capirossi was also the last rider to take the title in his rookie season in 125cc/Moto3 – until Acosta.
Capirossi gave Ducati their first MotoGP win at the 2003 Catalan GP in the Italian manufacturer’s debut MotoGP season. It was Ducati’s first GP win in any class since Mike Hailwood’s victory in 125cc at the 1959 Ulster GP.
He has won with three different manufacturers in MotoGP: Yamaha, Honda and Ducati – one of only five riders to achieve the feat along with Mike Hailwood, Randy Mamola, Eddie Lawson and Maverick Viñales. He has taken podiums with four: Honda, Yamaha, Ducati and Suzuki.
The 17 years 49 days between his maiden win, in 125cc at the 1990 British GP, and his final one, in MotoGP at the 2007 Japanese GP, gives him the second longest winning career, only surpassed by Valentino Rossi (20 years, 311 days).
Capirossi retired at the end of 2011 in Valencia, as the record holder for Grand Prix starts at that time, with 328 across 22 seasons (1990-2011). His iconic #65 was retired from MotoGP in 2016.
Now, he’s MotoGP’s Race Direction representative and continues to play a vital role in the sport. He’s also one of the paddock’s biggest characters and one of its most popular.
Congratulations, Loris!
Loris Capirossi: “It’s a really emotional moment for me, because everyone’s dream is to one day be a MotoGP Legend, and I want to say thank you so much to Carmelo, to Carlos, to everyone at MotoGP, to all the people inside this room, because I see many faces I’ve known for a long time, people who work with me, who make my life easy to do the seasons I did. I also want to say to the manufacturers because I raced for many different manufacturers; thank you to Honda because they gave me the opportunity to win my first two titles, Yamaha to win the first race in 500, to the beautiful bike, this Aprilia, for giving me the opportunity again to be world champion in 1998. And of course the Ducati on the other side, the first bike I win with in MotoGP and for giving me the great opportunity to fight for the title until the end in 2006. And, of course, to Suzuki because they gave me the last podium in MotoGP.
“I learned a lot in all those years but I think the best thing is all the friends in that world. and I am really happy to still be here and involved in that. I want to dedicate this award to my family, to my mum, my dad, my brother, my wife and my son because to get those kinds of results you need strong help from the family. Also I want to say, Carmelo, I am proud and happy and this is, for sure, one of the best moments of my career, because in racing, always one or two hours before the race started, I’d feel strange in my stomach, butterflies, and that happened again this morning. Thank you for that emotion.”

Wrench Motorcycles’ Cameron Petersen was second, followed by Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha Racing’s Bobby Fong, Strack Racing’s Mathew Scholtz and OrangeCat Racing’s Jayson Uribe.

More, from a press release issued by MotoGP:
Marc Marquez denies Bezzecchi gold in tense Misano Sprint stand-off. 22 points cover the top three as the reigning World Champion does the business on Saturday afternoon.
Maximum attack mode from lights out, Marc Marquez got the holeshot into Turn 1and resisted Bezzecchi’s early pressure to lead across the line at the end of Lap 1. A good start behind from ‘Diggia’ and also from Championship leader Jorge Martin (Aprilia Racing) who was up to P4. Just like in 2025 though, it was personal-best lap after lap between Marquez and Bezzecchi but the reigning World Champion had started to eek out his advantage over the home-hero.
At the start of Lap 3, front-row starter Fermin Aldeguer (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP) got his elbows out good and proper with one of his main rivals Pedro Acosta (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) with both of them swapping paint from Turn 2 to Turn 6 and then again up at Turn 10. Aldeguer paid the price, losing spots to teammate Alex Marquez, Acosta and Raul Fernandez (SuperFile Trackhouse MotoGP Team) in the process.
Into the second half of the Sprint, a 1’30.763s from Marquez leading saw him with a 1.1s lead over Bezzecchi, who despite setting a 1’30.846 on Lap 6, still didn’t have an answer to the #93. Behind and doing his best to limit damage to his Championship lead, Martin was now in third but up ahead with 5 to go, Bezzecchi had got the gap down to half a second and was still in the 1’30s whilst Marquez had dropped to the 1’31s. A lap later and the #93 was back in the 1’30s but still, the gap hovered at half a second.
Two to go and the fastest lap of the Sprint and a new race lap record from Marquez as he finally broke free out of Bezzecchi’s mid-Sprint clutches. Making up for his Sprint error last year, it was lights-to-flag victory for Marc Marquez to edge closer to the Championship lead whilst Bezzecchi took P2, his first top two finish in a Sprint all season. Two Aprilias on the rostrum with Martin in P3, 2.4s back of his teammate.
Less than half a second back from the podium, Di Giannantonio was in fourth whilst Alex Marquez rounded out the top five. After his early dust-up with Aldeguer, Acosta came home in P6 ahead of Fernandez, Aldeguer and Luca Marini (Honda HRC Castrol), who took the final point in the Sprint. Big names who missed out on points included Johann Zarco (Castrol Honda LCR) in 10th, Diogo Moreira (Pro Honda LCR) in 11th, Franco Morbidelli (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team) in 12th and double World Champion Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team) in P13. Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP) also failed to score having crashed on Lap 3 trying to pass Moreira at Turn 14.
We’ve had the teaser but will we get the full blockbuster on Sunday? Lights out at 14:00 local time (UTC+2).
