Four-time World Champions Stefan Dörflinger and Jorge “Aspar” Martinez will become MotoGP™ Legends this season, with the Swiss rider set to be inducted into the MotoGP™ Legends Hall of Fame at the Sachsenring and the Spaniard at Valencia. This announcement comes on the 40th anniversary of “Aspar”’s first ever race - a fitting occasion.

German-born Stefan Dörflinger won back-to-back 50cc titles in 1982 and 1983 before the introduction of the 80cc category in 1984 saw the Swiss rider take that crown and become the first ever Champion in the class. He followed that up by defending the Championship in 1985, taking the fourth of the four titles he would accrue over his career. That career began on the international stage in 1973 and spanned until 1990 when Dörflinger hung up his leathers, taking the 80cc runner up spot in his penultimate season of competition. He retired with 18 Grand Prix wins to his name.
