Italian Valentino Rossi was inducted into the MotoGP Hall of Fame at the FIM Cup. It was an expected, but still somewhat surprising move for Rossi, which is usually announced before the award ceremony.

MotoGP News

Carmelo Ezpeleta denied allegations by Carlo Pernato that Honda was investigating the story of Marco Marquez that he exacerbated an injury to his broken right arm when he opened a window at home.
