Former MotoGP race winner and Moto2 champion, Toni Elias, made an announcement on live TV, stating that he will be retiring from the sport. The decision came after he secured a fifth-place finish in the Road America Superbike race last Sunday, June 4, 2023.
Elias, who has an impressive record of 17 grand prix victories across various classes including 125cc, 250cc, Moto2, and Racing, is best remembered for his stunning triumph over Valentino Rossi in the 2006 Estoril race. This victory marked Elias' first premier-class rostrum and was the last MotoGP win by a satellite rider until Jack Miller's triumph at Assen in 2016.
