HUGH ANDERSON IS A MOTOGP LEGEND
Hugh Anderson,the former 50cc and 125cc World Champion has been admitted to the Motogp Legends.
The New Zealander’s career also saw him contest the 500cc class and was a podium finisher in the 1960 championship. During a six-year career Anderson won 25 races and four titles.
He said: “How I felt when receiving the news? At first, apprehension: do my relatively modest achievements warrant this honour? Will I, can I, do justice to this invitation?
“Some hours later I felt a feel-good sensation envelop me. Gratification that after all this time the modern world has not forgottten the past and the riders of a very different era still have some value. A question of the history of our sport being recognised at the highest level.
Thank you.”
