Controversies and legal

Controversy

2025 MotoGP Legends/Hall of Fame split

In 2025, the decision was announced to split the MotoGP Legends from the Hall of Fame. The new Hall of Fame would only constitute premier-class (MotoGP/500cc) riders, excluding those who were successful in the lower classes. This move has been criticized by the MotoGP community, who have called Dorna and Liberty Media out for "erasing history", an example of this being Giacomo Agostini, who had won 15 world championship titles, being considered an 8-time champíon instead.
