Aspar completed a lap of the track accompanied by the young riders from the KSB school on Saturday, while on Sunday he took to the circuit at the controls of the CFMoto, the bike with which the Aspar team is competing in this season’s Moto3 World Championship.
The honoree shared the stage with great stars he once raced against on the track: Álex Barros, Eugenio Lazzarini, Pier Paolo Bianchi and Manuel “Champi” Herreros, as well as other great figures of motorcycle racing such as Santi Rabasa, Jaime Alguersuari and Valentín Requena. All of them shared with the thousands of fans present in the Circuit’s paddock their memories of motorcycle racing in the ’80s and ’90s. In addition, riders such as Jorge Lorenzo, Carlos Checa, Álex Crivillé, Emilio Alzamora and Sete Gibernau, who could not attend the event, left their memories and messages for Jorge and all the fans, with videos projected on the stage.
Congratulations.
