Recently retired MotoGP™ Legend Valentino Rossi leads the roll of honours from the Racing Together era, with nine Championships; one title in the 125cc, 250cc and 500cc classes and six MotoGP™ crowns. The Spanish soon-to-be MotoGP™ Legend has two 250cc crowns and three MotoGP™ World Championships. Casey Stoner and Valentino Rossi are the only two riders to have won premier class titles with two different factories during the era.
