Paying tribute to Chris Carter

MotoGP™ pass on our condolences to the family and friends of the legendary commentator and key figure in the history of the sport

The whole MotoGP™ family has been deeply saddened by the recent passing of the legendary Chris Carter. An esteemed broadcaster, commentator, journalist and author, Carter left an indelible mark on both MotoGP™ and two-wheeled motorsport.
