Dorna has announced that in memory of Shoya Tomizawa who tragically lost his life at the Misano GP two weeks ago, that his racing #48 will be retired from the Moto2 championship and has been posthumously awarded the Michel Metraux trophy for the best Moto2 rider of the year, as was suggested by Toni Elias in yesterday’s press conference and fellow riders have done so unanimously.

Tomizawa was laid to rest yesterday at Ashahi, near Chiba, Japan with more than a thousand people paying tribute to the Japanese rider that included Alain Bronec, owner of Technomag CIP Moto team, Noboru Ueda (Tomizawa’s manager), and several riders from Yuki Takahashi, Tomoyoshi Koyama, Youichi Ui and many others.
