Since its inception in 2000, 31 racers have been inducted, including both the most successful world champions such as Giacomo Agostini, Ángel Nieto, Mike Hailwood and Carlo Ubbiali, as well as champions who had died young such as Jarno Saarinen and Daijiro Kato. The latest inductee is Jorge Martínez.[1]

Inductees

Inductees with a (†) beside their name indicates that the inductee is deceased; four (Hailwood, Kato, Simoncelli, and Saarinen) were inducted to the MotoGP Legends posthumously.

Out of the 31 racers who have been inducted, Mamola is the only inductee who never won a single championship in his career. Nicky Hayden is the first rider to be inducted while the rider is still active in racing. Hayden, along with Dani Pedrosa, are the only members of the MotoGP Legends to start a race in MotoGP across any classes after getting inducted to MotoGP Legends as they were inducted before their respective final races as active competitors in MotoGP.
