Jarno Saarinen now a Legend

This is so good to hear.
RIP Saarinen and all the others who've lost their life in the GPs.
 
Thanks Jane.

Not before time...a long overdue and worthy honour for 'Pasoni' - one of the finest names to grace the pantheon of motorcycle sport.
 
When a rider is made a motogp legend, what do they actually get? Is it just a title?

He doesn't get anything tom, he is dead. Died doing the sport we love to follow. But when your awarded this you go into the hall of fame.

its about honour and recognition, not trinkets .
 
I doubt the riders or in this case, the family are going to get money for it, if that's what you mean.

Yea thats what i has always assumed. I just wondered if there might have been something else to it.
 
great rider remember sister called her dog at the time.jarno.

MotoGP Hall of Fame. Each of them has had an induction ceremony at one of the GPs, at which a unique silver medal recognizing the honour is presented to the new member.

wondered was jarno's family there for the medal.??

Edit: The presentation was made to Saarinen’s brothers Jari and Jarkko and widow Soili Karme.
