No surprises whatsoever as to who tops the charts. Rossi's records set over 2 decades is just mind-boggling. Generations of riders have come and gone but Rossi still belies his age and looks to find ways to find the motivation to win. Rossi is undoubtedly the most recognized face of MotoGP.
An avid fan of Inter Milan Football Club, Valentino 'The Doctor' Rossi is the only man in motorcycle racing history to win Championships across 4 different classes. He has won the 125cc, 250cc and the now discontinued 500cc class once each. He has won the MotoGP title a total of 6 times giving him a total of 7 Premier Class Championships all in all.
115 overall wins across all categories put Rossi second only to Giacomo Agostini on the all-time list. The only rider to have aggregated more than 5000 Championship points, Rossi has won 89 Premier Class Grand Prix races - an all-time record. Having gone winless all throughout the 2018 season - a rarity for a man of his caliber, Rossi will be looking to mount a push for a record-equalling 8th Championship at the age of 40 in the 2019 season.
'The Doctor' has stood on the podium 198 times (counting his second place at the Grand Prix of the Americas, 2019) and another milestone of a double century awaits the great man.
