Sunday at the Gran Premio Motul de la Comunitat Valenciana bid farewell to 2019 with another three awesome races to close out the season, and in the evening the FIM Awards ceremony brought the curtain down on the year – with Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda Team), Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati Team) and Maverick Viñales (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP) taking centre stage. And Marquez more than most was in the spotlight as he received his MotoGP™ World Champion trophy after another season of record-breaking and an eighth world title.
The 2019 Awards were hosted by Gavin Emmett and Marina Lorenzo, with Dorna Sports CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta and FIM President Jorge Viegas in attendance to present the range of awards throughout the evening to all the winners this season.
Befitting all the stars of the MotoGP™, the newest MotoGP eSport World Champion "AndrewZh", was invited to receive his prize and trophy in the annual FIM MotoGP™ Awards Gala. Recognised alongside the riders of real-life, including 2019 Champion Marc Marquez (Respol Honda Team) and runner-up Andrea Dovizioso (Team Ducati), MotoGP's virtual racer deserved his moment in the spotlight for being best in the business.
