Public dissatisfaction with the selection of the athlete of the year

formula 1

Lewis Hamilton was voted the best athlete in Europe in a vote involving news agencies. The Briton won with only a point advantage over the goalkeeper of the German national football team Manuel Neuer, but spectators and fans of motorsport reacted to the results with indignation, as the world champion of the MotoGP class, Marc Marquez, was only the ninth best athlete in Europe. rally champion Sebastien Ogier is not even among the top ten.

Honda boss Livio Suppo claims that Dani Pedrosa, despite not yet becoming a world champion in the elite class, is one of MotoGP’s top racers.
