The late Mike Trimby becomes the first non-rider to be made a MotoGP Legend.
Mike Trimby, founder and CEO of IRTA, who passed away during last September’s Misano round, has become the first non-rider to be made a MotoGP Legend.
“It’s a very special moment for me,” said Ezpeleta. “Mike is the first non-rider to become part of the MotoGP Legends. A big part of what MotoGP is now is because of Mike Trimby. “To be honest at that moment it was considered strange to represent the riders and not very well accepted by, let's say, the authorities.
“For me, it's a very emotional moment. Not just because as CEO of Dorna I’m representing what the championship thinks about Mike, it’s because we became very, very, very, very big friends.
